After running for nearly a year , the strike against 11 video game companies has reached a tentative agreement, which will provide performers with a new bonus structure in the form of an additional payment.The bonuses are based on sessions worked, starting with $75 for the first session and accruing to $2,100 after 10 sessions. The bonus must be paid on or before the game is released. This appears to be a different arrangement to the revenue-based payments some developers agreed to back in May.SAG-AFTRA's Chief Contract's Officer, Ray Rodriguez says the new terms are beneficial to voice actors due to increased transparency in contracts. He explains that companies will now need to disclose more information about projects such as code names, genres and if any sexual or violent content is featured.Included in the contract is also a requirement for employers to commit to working with SAG-AFTRA further on vocal stress issues. There have also been several omissions of management proposals which included fines for late or distracted performers.The SAG-AFTRA national board will officially review the new contract at its upcoming meeting in October.
