What does the SAG-AFTRA video game strike vote mean?
With the passing of the SAG-AFTRA vote on Sept. 25, the union for video game talent has collectively voted in favor of authorizing a strike against the gaming industry, citing poor treatment, stagnating wages, and a myriad of other issues they believe need to be dealt with.
After multiple rounds of negotiations failed to result in an updated agreement, the union is ready to mobilize and, with the vote passed, may schedule strike action—meaning major disruptions to the wider gaming industry.
