BET

Gabrielle Union shared a message on her social media account about the movie industry. Check it out below.

‘I stand in solidarity with #IATSE! #IASolidarity “In the film industry this is a very important weekend. The #IATSE locals have voted en masse to authorize a strike beginning Monday morning as soon as the clock strikes midnight, if an agreement isn’t reached,’ Gabrielle began her message.

‘These skilled, hardworking men and women aren’t demanding all-white dressing rooms with special edition purple m&ms at their disposal. No, they want reasonable work hours so they can spend time with their families; a living wage, bathroom, and lunch breaks. They want to be able to take personal time to grieve the loss of a family member, or to celebrate births, graduations, and weddings without reprisal. Every sector of the workforce in every industry is feeling this much-needed paradigm shift. Stay strong. Stand strong.’ she said.
