    nah i think you need to know (and not be willfully ignorant about stuff) that you're scabbing to be one. The business would lie to Hale (or her agent) if she asked and you're putting a lot on professional courtesy asking Taylor to break NDA and for a whisper network to prevent every other actor who would be approached for the role to decline it.

    Edit: It’s also worth noting that, if we decide that the intention of the worker defines whether it’s scabbing or not, then the corporations can enact union (and individual worker) busting tactics quite freely by providing plausible deniability. Making the intent of people doing things relevant to their moral culpability is a weapon against change. Capitalist society is built on a mix of natural and willful ignorance.

    fuck that bollocks. crossing a picket line is way different from taking a solo job like this. And if you really want to go all the way on that, it's extra ridiculous to put culpability on people in situations where there's literally no way to find out why a job opening exists.
