SAG Rejects Game Contract 65

Reuters is reporting that the Screen Actor's Guild has rejected the contract with the Games Industry, despite earlier signs negotiations would be successful. From the article: "The Screen Actors Guild's bitter infighting claimed another victim Tuesday as members of the national executive committee voted to reject the recently negotiated video game contract against the wishes of members and the negotiating committee. It is believed to be the first time in the union's 72-year history that board members have used the routine approval process to overrule the unanimous recommendations of a negotiating committee."

    Is the rejection based on them not getting the "residuals" or was there something more?

    I recall reading an entry on Wil's site
    " http://www.wilwheaton.net/mt/archives/003293.php#0 03293 [wilwheaton.net] "

    that had the perspective from the non big name hollywood voice actors, was very good as well there is a recent addition responding to the personal attacks Wil recieved shortly after his orginal post.

    I think we forget about the majority of actors that do voice actor.. I am not talking hollywood A-list types but the guy who does it along with working at Starbucks or where ever.

    But i'd like to know more about what they are really demanding before I make my judgement.
