Ballots were cast by 34,687 members, with 98.32 percent in favour of strike authorisation on the Interactive Media Agreement that covers union members’ work on video games.
Members of the major SAG-AFTRA acting union have overwhelmingly voted in favour of authorising a potential video game strike.
“It’s time for the video game companies to stop playing games and get serious about reaching an agreement on this contract,” said SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher.
Since October 2022, the union has been in Interactive Media Agreement negotiations with a number of video game companies including Activision, EA, Insomniac, Epic Games, Take 2 Productions, Warner Bros and more.
