Editing MediaWiki:Performance Matters

On [[October 21]] of [[2016]], members of the '''Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA)''' went on strike against a number of major video game developers, citing a breakdown in negotiations over standards that have not changed in two decades: safety concerns, unfair and deceptive methods used to prevent fair-pay negotiations over jobs, and much more. Nearly a year later, and they '''''still''''' haven't been given a fair contract.

Naturally, this strike includes a great many actors who have given their incredible talents to ''Transformers'' over the last three decades.

TFWIKI.net stands in support of these men and women fighting for their well-being in what is a tough job. Voice work is a vital part of the video game industry, yet those who do this work are frequently treated as disposable.
