SAG-AFTRA members have approved a strike authorization for work in TV animation, with more than 98% voting in favor.
The union announced the vote Wednesday evening, shortly after the deadline for members to vote.
The key issue for the union is the refusal of employers to provide scale wages or residuals in the fastest-growing area of animated performer’s work — animated programs made for subscription-based streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon. More than 75% of those voting had to approve of the strike authorization for SAG-aftra’s national board to call a strike.
The authorization was sent to “affected members” on June 27 and the union held informational meetings in Los Angeles and New York on July 10. SAG-aftra also created a #ToonsUnited hashtag to promote support for the authorization vote.
SAG-aftra President Gabrielle Carteris announced the results in a message posted on the SAG-aftra website.
Dear Member,
