Before Alec Baldwin fired a loaded prop gun on the set of his movie Rust, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director and co-writer Joel Souza, several crew members walked off of the set to protest working conditions, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The LA Times reported today that camera operators and their assistants walked off of the set just hours before Hutchins was killed. Complaints involved long hours, poor pay, unsafe working conditions, in addition to having to drive 50 miles each day from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, New Mexico, near where the film was being filmed. Nonunion workers were brought in to replace the unionized camera crew.
