SAG-AFTRA, Video Game Companies to Hold Contract Talks for First Time Since Actors Strike Called (EXCLUSIVE)
SAG-AFTRA's negotiating committee and the bargaining group for the video game companies have agreed to return to the table on Oct. 23
Amid the ongoing actors strike against major video game publishers, SAG-AFTRA ‘s negotiating committee and the bargaining group for the companies have agreed to return to the table on Oct. 23 to continue talks. The decision to set an Oct. 23 date to get back to the bargaining table comes on the heels of SAG-AFTRA’s Sept. 24 announcement that Riot Games‘ “League of Legends” has been added to the list of blocked titles, after previously being exempt from the strike, amid the union’s accusation of unfair labor practices against Formosa Interactive. While SAG-AFTRA is not accusing Riot Games’ “League of Legends of unfair labor practices, it is calling for a strike against the game because it is the most high profile title produced by Formosa Interactive, a member of the convenience bargaining group returning to the negotiations table on Oct. 23, and a way to draw the companies’ and the public’s attentions to the issue.
