UK actors’ union Equity stands “in solidarity” with SAG-AFTRA following news of a strike, though won’t be authorising a strike itself.
Yesterday, the US actors’ union announced a strike after failing to reach a deal with major video game companies over the use of AI following “more than a year and a half of negotiations”.
“Equity stands in total solidarity with SAG-AFTRA who have taken the brave decision to authorise a strike against US video games companies,” reads a statement from Equity assistant general secretary John Barclay.
