After receiving backlash for very strict Halloween costume guidelines, SAG-AFTRA has issued a clarification to its union membership.
Unfortunately, strike negotiations for fair wages in an era of streaming and artificial intelligence broke down between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers .The union released a statement accusing the industry CEOs of using"bully tactics" and refusing to negotiate.
"It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. We have negotiated with them in good faith, despite the fact that last week they presented an offer that was, shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began."They also have directed members not to"post photos of costumes inspired by struck content to social media.
creator Ryan Murphy wrote,"I cannot express to you how insane this is. Do these leaders not understand how much our crews are hurting? How so many are losing their homes....their mental health? And they scoff imperiously at George Clooney's generous offer to help AND on the same day publicize this Halloween costume nonsense? It's shameful.
alum J. August Richards wrote,"Now that's just way too much... wearing a costume in yr private life is not promoting a movie.","I look forward to screaming 'scab' at my 8-year-old all night. She's not in the union, but she needs to learn.", the union explained,"SAG-AFTRA issued Halloween guidance in response to questions from content creators and members about how to support the strike during this festive season.
I totally get where Mandy Moore is coming from,It seems like she's frustrated with SAG-AFTRA's focus on Halloween costume rules instead of addressing more pressing issues. Hopefully, they can come to a fair agreement soon so everyone can get back to work in the industry. 🎬🎭
