hey, sorry to add to your post, but i think an important clarification is needed, because crunchyroll did not, in fact, fire Kyle McCarley — what they did is, arguably, much worse. info from above kotaku article, which is in turn heavily sourced from McCarleys own accont
they didnt fire him — he wasnt working for them at the time, given the actors are signed on season-by-season basis. they reached out to him and were willing to pay him a higher, union wage. since he was returning for third season, McCully was willing to work under a non union contract, but he added one condition, that the company will hold a meeting with him and other union representatives to discuss possible future projects/collaboration. he did not ask for them to commit to ANYTHING but a meeting. they have literally GHOSTED him, and when he reached out himself, reinstating that they are only asking for a meeting, nothing more — he was thoroughly denied
so basically, they didnt fire someone for organising — they refused returning work for an actor based on union activity. which imo is even worse, showing utter disregard for an establishment union, and the fact that they have NO PLANS to work with one, or even consider working with a union, because i guess having working conditions where actors dont fuck up their voices is too much for them
tldr they didnt fire him— they refused to re-sign a NON UNION contract because he added one stipulation — that a single meeting with union representatives will be held
so yeah. make a complaint to crunchyroll, if you havent already
