The IATSE was about to go on strike against the studios, I'm not sure they have finalized the contract yet. Most of the disputes had to do with the hours and working conditions. That's got to tell you something.

You’re correct. My job has been on sets for over 30 years. This has zero to do with Alec Baldwin. A woman was killed because an inexperienced crew member was hired because the experienced ones didn’t like the working conditions and walked off set. I will say this.. Alec being not only a producer but also the lead, he should’ve stuck up for the crew and had he done so, this possibly could have been avoided since they’d have had a better, more experienced crew. Still safety is the responsibility of the 1st AD and unfortunately, that’s the person who handed off the loaded gun saying it was cold. He’ll never work again.
