Voice actors represented by SAG-AFTRA – a US-based media union – have voted overwhelmingly to authorize strike action.
Back in 2016, striking voice actors hoped to secure residual payments for voice and mocap actors, as well as breaks during stressful recording sessions.
Its worth noting that this previous voice actor strike had its own strike authorization vote with a roughly 96% approval rating.
Authorization means that SAG-AFTRA will be able to call a strike when negotations with various video game companies continue throughout this week and beyond.
