Last July, the SAG-AFTRA allowed the strike of voice actors against major video game publishers, on a large scale on the issue of AI reservations. About 300 days later, this is still the last point of the conflict between the two sides. Now, the publishers have released what is characterized by the “best and last” offer for actors. And the actors have fired back with their counter -Fafar in a public opinion court.
As noted BrandThe latest contract proposals between studios and actors have found a common basis on most terms of a new contract. This includes a 24 % wage increase in the life of the contract. But the lack of the agreement between the two sides against the Generative AI is continuing to extend the strike.
“We hope the union will not choose to go away when we are close to an agreement,” Audri cooling told Video Game Publishers spokesman, Audri cooling.
In response, the SAG-AFTRA noted that the video game publishers presented their latest offer on April 30, and the actors responded with a response on May 2. According to the actors, the publishers did not respond to this before normalizing the terms of the negotiations. After that, SAG-Aftra also issued his proposal online.
The union said, “The SAG-AFTRA has issued misleading rhetoric about our ongoing talks and condemned the video game companies’ attempt to end the confusion in the community.” “The statement, which states that the union will ‘go through negotiations’ and contradict the truth. These are the employers who, in a failed attempt to declare our negotiating committee and support their demands, have called for working and acting in foreign countries.”
Spider -Man, Resident Eule, and massive voice actors have previously told why actors need AI reservations that can potentially regenerate their voices without paying the actors. Unless the issue is resolved, the strike seems to continue.
