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.
On Twitter, voice your support using the hashtag #PerformanceMatters. Let friends know on social media. Let's help these people who have given us so much entertainment.
Update: On September 25 of 2017, SAG-AFTRA and the struck game companies reached a tentative agreement to end the strike. The agreement was approved by the union's board of directors on October 9, and now goes before eligible members. Read more about the agreement at the SAG-AFTRA official site.
