SAG-AFTRA Resumes Game Negotiations

Insomniac Games

SAG-AFTRA has announced it will schedule more bargaining sessions for a new video game contract in the hope of averting a secondary actor’s strike reports Variety.

Talks between SAG-AFTRA and a group of around ten major video game companies broke off last month without an agreement, but at the time both parties indicated they would continue to negotiate.

It’s a contrast to the ongoing strike against the major film and TV companies as no talks are currently scheduled between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP following their reaching an impasse last week.

Last month, the membership voted overwhelmingly to authorize a separate strike against the game companies if talks can’t reach a deal before the November 7th deadline.

The prior Interactive Media Agreement was originally set to expire on November 7th last year, but was extended by a year to allow for negotiations.

A spokeswoman for the video game employers indicates that as of last month, the two sides have reached a tentative agreement on more than half of the issues on the table.
