Whoa!!
So it was Baldwin’s decision

[1Old Pro]

Not sure what the union status has anything to do with anything. Other than if gun handlers were replaced by Baldwin they it would appear he might be more liable in a lawsuit.

[V_TWIN]

Heck I didn’t think you could work in the Hollywood movie business unless you WERE union.

[jerod]

So when they ‘walked’ off the set... They left bullets in the guns? Hmm!

[winoneforthegipper]

So a union guy sets up the scenario for payback?

[lee martell]

You Don’t Say!!
This is the first I’ve heard about these very important details.

On a side note, I don’t think this particular movie ‘Rust’, will ever be completed. This terrible accident has changed everything associated with this film project.
Producers, investors, insurance rates, career utility.

“the misfire of a prop gun with blanks” This phrase suggests that Baldwin didn't pull the trigger, but that some malfunction caused the prop gun to fire unexpectedly.

Presumably the police have the gun and are checking for any evidence for the alleged "misfire."

[Mr. K]

Ooops... So Baldwin was warned about safety issues?

Now THAT’S going to change things...

[Howie66]

Uh...yeah....because Unions are so much better qualified, right?

Try again.

[Trillian]

I wonder if this is true..

[Captain Peter Blood]

That is on the Director, the producer, and the studio.

[moovova]

Did the union guys leave a 9mm parting gift?

[Sacajaweau]

Wow...when was that written??

[eastforker]

This might be making more sense. If the union guys walked out and the non union came in, who is to say, or not say, that a union hand might have slipped some live ammo onto the set. Union hands can get quite serious.
