SAG-AFTRA files unfair labor practice against Llama Studios

SAG-AFTRA files unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB against Llama studios. The studio makes Fortnite and used a digital replica of James Earl Jones to voice Darth Vader in the game without bargaining with the union.

In their statement, SAG-AFTRA explained: "Fortnite's signatory company, Llama Productions, chose to replace the work of human performers with A.I. technology ... Unfortunately, they did so without providing any notice of their intent to do this and without bargaining with us over appropriate terms. As such, we have filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB against Llama Productions."
