The "Screen Actors Guild" (SAG) and the "American Federation of Television and Radio Artists" (AFTRA) has now entered day 21 of its' strike against video game producers. It is now Thursday Nov. 10, 2016 and the SAG-AFTRA union started the picket lines back on Oct. 21. This could go on for months if producers do not bend toward SAG-AFTRA's demands for better pay.
Below are the Foreign country associations supporting SAG-AFTRA.
- Australia : The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA)
- New Zealand: Equity
- Canada: Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA)
- United Kingdom: The British Equity
All union members have been warned not to accept any work within the video game industry. That is until an agreement has been made. The video industry is a $$ Billion dollar industry and SAG-AFTRA only wants residual pay just like movies and TV. Video Game producers have rejected that idea.
