SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher, saying that “right now is the time to show our solidarity,” is urging her members to authorize a strike against the video game industry.
The guild, which has been on strike against the film and TV industries since July 14, could go on strike against the gaming companies any time after September 25, when voting on the strike authorization ends.
The guild’s first and only strike against the gaming companies lasted 183 days in 2016-17. In a new video, Drescher notes that voting for a strike authorization doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be a strike.
But rather, it authorizes the board to “to call a strike if needed.” “It’s been nearly a year since SAG-AFTRA began negotiating the Interactive Media Agreement with video game companies, “she says in the video. “Despite many multi-day bargaining sessions, the companies are refusing to meet our members’ needs in vital areas.” Watch the video here: SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher dropping wisdom on our Interactive Media Agreement strike authorization!
