Since the union representing struggling Hollywood celebrities called for a strike-friendly Halloween celebration this year, Australian actress Ruby Rose has expressed her support for SAG-AFTRA. On Wednesday, SAG-AFTRA warned its members that they should not dress up as any characters in hit films or shows by posting a digital flyer on its strike website. Several A-list celebrities, including Mandy Moore and Melissa Gilbert, have since sluggishly condemned the decision, accusing SAG-AFTRA for not having its priorities in order.

During a continuing strike in its fourth month, Mandy Moore and Melissa Gilbert slammed SAG-AFTRA for its stringent Halloween regulations for union members

The rage surrounding the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike seems to be reaching a tipping point for some union members. Mandy Moore and Melissa Gilbert are among the more high-profile individuals who have sluggish priorities in the midst of the work stoppage involving the company's 160,000 media professionals and entertainers. More than three months into the strike, the actresses broke into the union's code this Halloween, where members are encouraged not to dress as characters from struck performances and instead wear generic costumes such as a non-specific ghost, zombie, spider, or witch. They also advised SAG-AFTRA members commemorating Halloween not to post photos inspired by struck content on social media so that the studios don't get any additional exposure. 'Is this a joke? Visit @sagaftra. This is what's important?' After learning of the spooky season rules, Moore, 39, fired back. We're asking you to engage in good faith on our behalf.' For months, so many people from every facet of this industry have been sacrificed slavishly for months. Everyone will return to work if they return to work and get a fair deal. Please and thank you.
