Inside the Breakdown of SAG-AFTRA and Studio Talks – A Threat Leads to a Walkout | Exclusive
As talks between SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood studios appeared to be moving in the right direction, a new proposal led to the AMPTP walking away.
www.thewrap.com
Instead of a 1% levy on all streaming revenue, the guild wanted a $1 per subscriber per year fee. The studios balked
This was an unusual first-dollar revenue share regardless of profit or any individual contributions to the success of any show, much less a company. The money would go to the guild itself rather than individual actors on any show — and the union would decide how to distribute.

The actor’s union SAG-AFTRA has announced that its members should not dress up as popular characters from struck content for Halloween.
Thus actors who are members of the union will be unable to dress up as most film or TV characters and post those images on social media – no costumes like Barbie, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Wednesday Addams or Marvel superheroes are allowed.
Instead, the guild advised its members to “choose costumes inspired by generalized characters and figures – ghost, zombie, spider, etc.” though figures from non-struck content like animated TV shows are fine.

i didnt know that she was once the SAG president.

Former SAG-AFTRA president Melissa Gilbert has blasted a SAG-AFTRA message that urged its members not to dress up as characters from struck companies this Halloween.
SAG-AFTRA published a post on its website encouraging members to “celebrate Halloween this year while also staying in solidarity.” The guild recommended striking actors “choose costumes inspired by generalized characters and figures,” including a “ghost, zombie, spider, etc.,” or “characters from non-struck content, like an animated TV show.”
Gilbert was incensed at the suggestions.
“THIS is what you guys come up with? Literally no one cares what anyone wears for Halloween,” Gilbert wrote on Instagram. “I mean, do you really think this kind of infantile stuff is going to end the strike? We look like a joke. Please tell me you’re going to make this rule go away… and go negotiate!”
Gilbert directly tagged the Instagram accounts of current SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
“For the love of God, people are suffering mightily and this is what you have to say… c’mon guys… This is the kind of silly bullshit that keeps us on strike. ‘Let’s enact a policy that makes us look petty and incompetent at the same time.’”
Gilbert was in charge of the actors union from 2001 to 2005.

i don't know exactly who said it, or where they said it, but someone speaking on behalf of sag-aftra said that the bargaining power of a strike is to not promote a studios product in ANY way and dressing up for halloween falls under that category (somehow).
i think it's pretty great that the actors are all up in arms about this, basically saying that the union's job is to negotiate in good faith, not make everyone involved look incompetent. yeah, sorry, that's what union's do.
