Currently obsessed with K//pop streams where the band members are all dolled up as usual but one of them is clearly sick.
First couple of sneezes, no one says anything. After the next one, the guy standing next to him rubs his back or shoulder. Other members start to ask if he's okay. The sneezes keep getting louder and he keeps sniffling. At first he was trying to duck out of camera view, but then he's too tired to care about it. Someone tries to make a joke for the fans to pass it off as allergies or just random, but by the end of the hour he's just clearly miserable.
I mean, just the horrible progression over the hour of a cold being suffered by a beautiful man who is utterly trapped by the entertainment industry's batshit insane expectations...... and the sad, earnest, loving camaraderie from his band mates who probably all knew this would be hell on him before they started.
(Article) SAG-AFTRA union members overwhelmingly agree to strike.
With the WGA strike wrapping up today after 148 days of stoppage and strong protections being negotiated. It looks like another strike is gearing up and getting ready to go.
SAG-AFTRA claims that 98% of those who were asked if they would participate in a strike agreed to do so. 35 thousand members have agreed to walk out and strike if nessicary.
Several attempts at negotiations since October of 2022 have failed with the following game companies:
Activision Productions Inc
Blindlight LLC
Disney Character Voices Inc.
Electronic Arts Productions Inc.
Formosa Interactive LLC
Insomniac Games Inc.
Epic Games
Take 2 Productions Inc.
VoiceWorks Productions Inc.
WB Games Inc.
These companies have refused to offer acceptable terms on a number of issues, including wage increases, protections against artificial intelligence, and safety precautions. Without the hardworking labour of these companies employees they wouldn't be able to publish the games they do. Without the immense pressure put on the employees, they can come out with a game that actually works and is created. Companies, especially video game companies, have been seeing record profits and record profits should mean record wages.
President of SAG-AFTRA Fran Drescher says that:
“It’s time for the video game companies to stop playing games and get serious about reaching an agreement on this contract, The result of this vote shows our membership understands the existential nature of these negotiations, and that the time is now for these companies — which are making billions of dollars and paying their CEOs lavishly — to give our performers an agreement that keeps performing in video games as a viable career."
The biggest concern of union members is the unfettered use of artificial intelligence. AI has already been used in several key places like posters and in-game art. SAG-AFTRA wants to ensure that its voice actors and actresses, writers, and anyone else who is a memeber are not being exploited for their labor.
Looking at the WGA strike that just ended, several consessions were made in favor of the workers. They will receive a 12% pay increase, 5% on ratification, and 3.5% over the next 2 years following the agreement. They also relieved a 76% increase in streaming residuals. Depending on the size of the next project, laborers will receive a garuenteed 10-20 weeks of work.
I'd expect something similar to take place with the new SAG-AFTRA strike. It will be interesting to watch, I stand with all those in a union to create better working conditions and a more sustainable future for themselves!
