Union walkout at Baldwin's movie before shooting

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-22/alec-baldwin-rust-camera-crew-walked-off-set

"Safety protocols standard in the industry, including gun inspections, were not strictly followed on the “Rust” set near Santa Fe, the sources said. They said at least one of the camera operators complained last weekend to a production manager about gun safety on the set"

I see little discussion of the fact that union members walked off for safety concerns. No union propmasters on-site. Three previous accidental discharges.

Nobody wants to say that hiring scabs can cost lives. Ignoring worker's concerns costs lives.
