The labor union representing roughly 160,000 actors, announcers, singers and other performers is not so subtly calling out Droga5 on Twitter. SAG is concerned that many digital ad agencies cut corners by working with non-union performers and underpaying those performers for their work. 

" … Some agencies have a double standard. They pay market rates for union directors, actors and crews—when they need to. Other times, they're hiring nonprofessional actors and paying substandard wages without benefits to them, while working with union crews," SAG noted in its initial blog post about its social campaign.
