Musicians stand with SAG-AFTRA video game workers striking for a fair contract
Members of AFM Local 47 joined with hundreds of SAG-AFTRA members, labor and community supporters on today’s picket line outside of Warner Bros. Studios regarding interactive video game employment.
SAG-AFTRA members continue on their second week on strike against several video game employers. Following the first demonstration last week, AFM musicians again joined hundreds on the picket line in support of voiceover and motion-capture workers seeking a fair contract.
SAG-AFTRA reports that during negotiations, these employers are pushing proposals that would reduce integrations/reuse fees and facilitate the use of non-professionals. Musicians support these workers in their ongoing efforts to reach acceptable terms and conditions for video-game employment including fair pay, protections against vocal stress, and transparency regarding roles.
