Morris posted photos from the picket line on Instagram, posing for photos with her old co-stars, and holding up a picket sign paying tribute to the late Naya Rivera.

The sign featured a picture of Rivera as her “Glee” character Santana, with the quote, “The only straight I am is straight-up broke.”

Rivera died in July 2020 while boating with her son Josey.

Other cast members who showed up on the pick line included Jenna Ushkowitz, Dot-Marie Jones, Becca Tobin, Iqbal Theba and Vanessa Lengie.

Series creator Brad Falchuk was also on hand to support the strike actions.

In one video posted to Instagram, Criss and McHale danced and sang along to a muted song while others bobbed to the music.

Dianna Agron wasn’t at the picket line, but showed her support with heart emojis in the comments of Morris’ post.
