After 350 video game voice actors began striking on Friday, gaming companies have blamed the SAG-AFTRA union for not relaying their new proposal to union members before announcing the strike. Lawyers for the gaming companies have stated that the SAG-AFTRA union approved this strike more than a year ago without consulting its members. The union responded that its negotiating committee has the power to authorize strikes, and they will not present their members with a deal until they believe it is up to par.
