Neither the article or the blog post really give any concrete details about the deal, so it's hard to say how bad it really is. I guess it all depends on how you define "fair" compensation for a person's voice. The fact that so many voice actors weren't even informed about it is concerning though. Obviously there has to be some confidentiality, but it's odd how many voice actors seem surprised by the deal if it was made after consulting union members who were going to be affected.
I know I'm taking this out of context, but this kind of thing was the stuff of fairy tales a couple hundred years ago, and the ones making the deals to take people's voices have never once been the good guys
