    So a second question is raised, if the members are still allowed to strike in solidarity and in THEORY can’t be punished for doing so how is GTA6 really exempt from the strike then IF they are using SAG-AFTRA members?

    Members striking in solidarity probably aren’t eligible for any union assistance. During a strike there are programs in place for helping members with some bills, etc. that would not be available. This is one of the things that Union dues usually go towards, having a financial war chest saved for when strikes are necessary.

      I never considered or thought about union assistance nor the possibility it would be prohibited. It would have been nice for the article to explain in more detail how the exemption works.
