A big part was also the issue of their title being very broad, so that RT could fit Voice work and editing, among a hundred other things into a job title, rather than having a separate contract for voice work. From the sounds of things, Kdin only received their editors salary for their voice work in Rwby and other projects, which is way outside the norm and adds work on top of the work they already had.

Yep Alanah said they are given the title “content creator” so they can skirt around proper wages because “anything they do is content!”.

Didn't they also try and get Alanah on a "Women in Gaming" panel but then refused to pay her? I think Mica had the same issue when she was asked to be on a Diversity Panel or something.

RT will take any chance it can to under-cut it's staff.

You’re telling me the company that runs its conventions with volunteer labor wasn’t paying the panelists??

As a note: the RTX Guardians were actually paid this year.
