Variety: Videogame producers have slammed SAG-AFTRA over the union’s threat to go on strike this Friday if negotiations do not yield a new deal for voice actors.
“We have negotiated in good faith for the past 18 months with SAG-AFTRA union leaders, and are making progress toward a new contract,” said the interactive media video game companies in a statement Monday.

I would agree with the Videogame companies on this negotiation, because the pay (which probably has flaws), seem pretty decent: a hundred bucks an hour plus benefits. However, it is understandable of the union wanting to renegotiate as depending on how long your work, that hundred bucks may seem useless, which seems far to have a talk about the contract. But where I would have to agree with the Union is that it has been 2 years since the discussion of the contract, and not much progress has been made to finalize a new contract. I may be wrong, but that seems like a really long time to have a conversation about this new contract, especially with people’s carriers on the line. Having strikes are difficult, because it is a double edge sword, it shows the urgency and importance of what people are striking, which could force the opposite party to make a decision, but that decision could work less to the people on strike’s favor. It is a difficult spot, and I hope that the threat of striking will not backfire.
