This is the best summary I could come up with:
SAG-AFTRA secretary-treasurer candidate Pete Antico has messaged union members in an attempt to drum up plaintiffs in a potential lawsuit against the labor organization.
Antico, who is aligned with an independent slate of candidates that is challenging Fran Drescher’s Unity ticket, on Thursday sent union members an election campaign message informing them of potential pending litigation against SAG-AFTRA.
The email exhorted members to read a letter from Protection of the Educational Rights of Kids (PERK), a 501©3 nonprofit that supported General Hospital star Ingo Rademacher’s COVID-19 vaccine lawsuit against ABC.
Even so, the PERK letter states, “many SAG-AFTRA members are still subject to COVID protocols and mandates in order to either audition, be cast, or continue working on a production already in contract.”
The letter requests donations to support this campaign and exhorts members who believe they have been “discriminated against for your sincerely held beliefs or personal health reasons” to reach out to the organization and fill out a survey.
Gilbert-Dunbar’s and Antico’s slate also includes National Board candidates such as Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo), Elliott Gould (Ocean’s Eleven), Dr. Drew (Celebrity Rehab) and Diane Ladd (Chinatown).
