The union will be reentering negotiations today, however has warned its members to be prepared in case these last minute negotiations do not come to an agreeable solution.
We head back to the table Oct. 17-19 with the goal of creating a fair contract that is rooted in industry standards and best practices. Based on past experience, we are not confident management is willing to make the changes necessary to bring this contract up to the standards of our other agreements. Unless you hear differently from us, effective Oct. 21 at 12:01 a.m., you should be prepared to strike the following video game employers with regard to all games that went into production after Feb. 17, 2015:
Developers targeted in the strike include Activision, Electronic Arts, Disney, Insomniac, WB, and Take Two, among others. So hold your Nolan North games tight, he may not be appearing in much for a while.
