Melissa Barrera getting removed from the next Scream movie bc she supports Palestine was pathetic
from being blacklisted for their views on Palestine.
Cool group of people and glad they're standing on the issue, but wow. This is where Hollywood is at with this issue, huh?
Hollywood has always been that way. The leader of sag aftra happily blacklisted members just based on "suspicion" of being "communist" back in the 50s. They made him president of the country.
Screen Actors Guild presidency When Robert Montgomery resigned as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) on March 10, 1947, Reagan was elected to that position in a special election.[51] Reagan's first tenure saw various labor–management disputes,[52] the Hollywood blacklist,[53] and the Taft–Hartley Act's implementation.[54] On April 10, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) interviewed Reagan and he provided them with the names of actors whom he believed to be communist sympathizers.[55] During a House Un-American Activities Committee hearing, Reagan testified that some guild members were associated with the Communist Party[56] and that he was well-informed about a "jurisdictional strike".[57] When asked if he was aware of communist efforts within the Screen Writers Guild, he called information about the efforts "hearsay".[58] Reagan resigned as SAG president November 10, 1952, but remained on the board;[59] Walter Pidgeon succeeded him as president.[60]
Goddamn.
The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), adding new restrictions on union actions and designating new union-specific unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns. The amendments also allowed states to enact right-to-work laws banning union shops. Enacted during the early stages of the Cold War, the law required union officers to sign non-communist affidavits with the government.
Fuck.
Good for them. The members should not be blacklisted.
