After three days of scheduled negotiations, SAG-AFTRA has announced that Interactive Media Agreement negotiations with employers would continue, with new dates to be announced as soon as they are confirmed.

Negotiations resumed with the employer unit which includes Activision Productions Inc., Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc., Electronic Arts Productions Inc., Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc., Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc., and WB Games Inc. on October 23.

The SAG-AFTRA strike against all signatories to the Interactive Media Agreement began in July and remains in effect, with the exception of games signed to the Tiered-Budget Independent Interactive Media Agreement or an Interim Interactive Media Agreement.

SAG-AFTRA went on strike against some of the largest game companies in July, after more than 18 months of negotiation during which employers refused to agree to A.I. terms that would protect all SAG-AFTRA members who work on video games. Meanwhile, more than 100 video games have been signed to the union’s Interim Agreement and Tiered Budget Independent Agreement, which contain the protections SAG-AFTRA was seeking, showing that the union’s terms are reasonable and feasible for business.
