The WGA may have reached an agreement to end its strike, but that doesn't mean the entertainment industry's union action is over. Deadline has this breakdown on what's to come on the labor front, including SAG-AFTRA's negotiations and IATSE's contract, which expires in 2024.
SAG-AFTRA's video game performers are also in the spotlight as they head back to the negotiating table tomorrow. Polygon has the details on this, including what's at stake, which game companies could be affected, and the possible outcomes.
Update: SAG-AFTRA members have voted to authorize a strike against the video game industry. This does not guarantee a work stoppage, but permits union negotiators to call for a strike if necessary. Negotiations for the new contract, which covers voice, motion capture, stunt work and other performances on video games, restart tomorrow. Signatory companies include Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts and Epic Games.
