    It seems weird that the union can put up a vote for a strike against an agreement and then almost a year later actually call that strike into play. So many things have changed, and I’m sure that contract has changed a lot since then.

    I’d love to know what the final piece says that they just can’t come to an agreement. It’s clearly about AI voice acting, but the detail matter.

      Going on strike is a last resort measure. People’s livelihoods are at stake when you go on strike. People won’t be able to pay their mortgage/rent when they’re out of work. The union has tried their best to negotiate on behalf of their members, but ultimately they made the call that negotiation was going the way they wanted for their members.

        Right, which is why it’s put to a vote so that the members themselves can make that call. And that’s why I think the vote was a year ago with a contract that was probably quite a bit different.

        I clearly don’t know the details and they do, but from the outside, it looks weird.
