More on Zelina Vega Release 

As we all heard on Friday, Zelina Vega was released by the WWE.  This came 10 minutes after she tweeted “I believe in unionization”.  Now this was not THE reason for the release, but played a part in it.

Well; the President of labor union SAG-AFTRA [The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists], Gabrielle Carteris reached out to Zelina in tweet form.

SAG-AFTRA is the biggest labor union in Hollywood & represents a plethora of people in the entertainment industry.
