SAG-AFTRA Will Picket The WB Games Offices Today
This morning, SAG-AFTRA will be picketing the front offices of WB Games in Los Angeles following the recent round of layoffs
Article Summary
- SAG-AFTRA pickets WB Games amid recent studio closures in LA.
- Picket event part of ongoing video game strike since last July.
- Strike delays high-profile game 'OD' by Kojima Productions.
- Union represents 160,000 entertainment and media professionals.
Following the recent shuttering of three game studios, SAG-AFTRA has announced they will hold a new picket at the offices of WB Games. The strike will take place at Gate 5 at the Corner of Warner Blvd. and South Avon Street in Burbank, California, from 11am-2pm PT. This picketing event is the latest in the ongoing video game strike that the union has been holding since July of last year, which, as of the date we're posting this, has been going on for 222 days.
One of the most recent high-profile games affected by the strike is OD by Kojima Productions, as they have delayed the release of the game due to the voice actor's participation in the strike. There hasn't been a lot of discussion of the strike in recent months; ever since the two sides met in October for a few days, a new set of meetings was set to be booked, but those dates have yet to be announced. We'll see if anything develops from today's picketing, but at the moment, both sides appear to be at a standstill.
