    SAG-AFTRA stated

    “After five rounds of bargaining, it has become abundantly clear that the video game companies aren’t willing to meaningfully engage on the critical issues: compensation undercut by inflation, unregulated use of AI and safety,” said Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator, in a statement. “I remain hopeful that we will be able to reach an agreement that meets members’ needs, but our members are done being exploited, and if these corporations aren’t willing to offer a fair deal, our next stop will be the picket lines.”

    The signatory companies stated

    “We will continue to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement that reflects the important contributions of SAG-AFTRA-represented performers in video games. We have reached tentative agreements on over half of the proposals and are optimistic we can find a resolution at the bargaining table.”







  • You could finagle it in Google Calendar. It’s a bit of a hack, but it’ll work. You basically need to set up 3 events to cover the time frame since you’re limited to 6 notifications(5 early + 1 at time). Then set those to repeat indefinitely.

    So you’d set the first for 11 am with notifications starting at 5 hours earlier. Next would be 5 pm. Final would be at 9 pm.

    It’s a kludge, but it gets the job done.
