In September of final 12 months, SAG-AFTRA members voted for strike authorization, warning {that a} strike could be forthcoming if the 2 events couldn’t attain a deal. This summer season, a strike was formally approved and SAG-AFTRA members started picketing on July twenty sixth.
Negotiations are resuming shortly after SAG-AFTRA introduced that it was including League of Legends to the checklist of struck video games. The union filed an unfair labor grievance in opposition to Formosa Leisure, the corporate that gives voice appearing providers to League and different titles developed by Riot Video games. SAG-AFTRA claimed the corporate tried to bypass the strike by hiring non-union expertise.
