BBC: “Hollywood actors union eyes video game strike”

The union representing actors in the US is looking to authorise a second strike against major video game companies.

Talks between SAG-AFTRA and companies like Activision and Electronic Arts have reached a “stalemate”, the union said on Friday, particularly on wage increases and artificial intelligence.

Hollywood actors have been on strike since 13 July against major TV and film companies.

A spokesperson for the game firms said both sides were seeking a fair deal.

Voting on the second strike will be held between 5 and 25 September.
