SAG-AFTRA union takes a strong step to make production houses agree to their demands with new Halloween costume ideas.

SAG-AFTRA Union Finds a New Tactic to Scare Studios This Halloween and Anime Fans Are in for a Treat

SAG-AFTRA ensures everything remains in control during festivities amidst the
ongoing strike. The union of actors has been protesting on the pickets for over
three months now. But no matter how hard they tried, nothing has worked so far.
Only days back, union members and production houses sat down to talk about the
renewal of the agreement, which went in vain. Also, the end of the WGA strike
has only increased the pressure on them to resolve things because people have a
livelihood to earn.

After singing ‘The Point of No Return’ a few days back outside Netflix’s
building in LA, the protesters are back again with another tactic. And now, the
union has decided to scare their opponents on Halloween. Gear up anime fans,
this might be the best season for you to get some new costume inspiration.


SAG-AFTRA ISSUES GUIDELINES FOR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

SAG-AFTRA Strike recently shared some guidelines
[https://www.sagaftrastrike.org/post/halloween-guidance-from-sag-aftra] on how
union members should celebrate Halloween. The committee has approved costumes
for performing strikers but with a twist. They want members to celebrate the day
“while also staying in solidarity” with the strike. This means actors cannot
wear any costumes from recent blockbuster movies like Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Instead, they can choose to wear costumes inspired by characters and figures
like ghosts, zombies, spiders, and much more.

“Dress up as characters from non-struck content, like an animated TV show,”
suggested SAG-AFTRA. Also, they have asked actors to avoid sharing photos of
costumes that feature movies and shows on social media. Through this Halloween
move, the union wants to send out a loud message to the AMPTP who left the
negotiating table last week. So they want the struck companies to know that
without a fair contract, actors will not promote their content in any way.

This news has come only days after the protestors gathered in front of Netflix’s
studio, which showed they will not back out.


THE UNION SURROUNDED NETFLIX STUDIO SINGING ‘THE POINT OF NO RETURN’

On October 12, SAG-AFTRA members took the internet by storm with bizarre
outrage.

It showed how the striking people found a new way to convince studios. After the
AMPTP did not settle down the deal, they walked to the Netflix studios and sang
‘The Point of No Return’ from The Phantom of the Opera. This song marks the
turning point for the characters where they acknowledge they cannot go back and
must face the consequences.

Likewise, the protestors found this song perfectly fitting their condition and
did not hesitate to start the show in front of the studio. In addition to the
streaming giant, some actors also rallied around the Disney studio. Now they
have this Halloween strategy to avoid promoting their content. Well, only time
will tell if these things would affect the opponent parties or not.
