"Actors' Union Faces Backlash Over Halloween Strike Rules and Costume Guidelines"
SAG-AFTRA has clarified its Halloween strike rules after facing criticism from actors such as Ryan Reynolds, Mandy Moore, and former SAG president Melissa Gilbert. The union had previously published guidelines encouraging members to avoid wearing costumes from popular movies and franchises, but clarified that these rules do not apply to stars' children. SAG-AFTRA emphasized that their priority is getting the studios back to the negotiating table to secure a fair deal for their members and end the strike, which has been ongoing for nearly 100 days.
