Possible Voice Actor Strike against Acitivision and others (Destiny)
On the organization's website, a post claims that union heads will be meeting this week to negotiate contracts "rooted in industry standards and best practices," and that, "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:
Activision Publishing, Inc.
Blindlight, LLC
Corps of Discovery Films
Disney Character Voices, Inc.
Electronic Arts Productions, Inc.
Formosa Interactive, LLC
Insomniac Games, Inc.
Interactive Associates, Inc.
Take 2Interactive Software
VoiceWorks Productions, Inc.
WB Games, Inc."
So when was the official start of Destiny 2 production? How do they define production? Does that include any work on the game, or the start of Voice work? One could probably argue that the Destiny 2 story boards, concept art, etc went into production before Destiny 1 ever shipped.

Good on the voice actors. I wish them success.
This is pretty common phrasing
The auto unions tend to set things up so that they are ready to strike prior to the start of negotiations. That is held as a threat during the talks, but they won't pull the trigger unless talks break down.
This announcement probably is the same preparatory statement.

Well sure. Wishing them luck all the same.

Heh heh. About three years ago, more or less.
