Star-Studded National Union Solidarity Day Unites NYC

The National Union Solidarity Day rally took place in New York City, with hundreds of marchers forming a picket line outside the corporate offices of Amazon and HBO. Striking writers and actors were joined by unionized teachers, nurses, truckers, musicians, retail and hotel workers, receiving vocal support from union leaders. Actors Jesse Eisenberg, Carla Gugino, and others participated in the demonstration, which included union-themed karaoke and live music. The rally emphasized the solidarity between workers in the entertainment industry and other fields, with speakers denouncing corporate greed. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander warned studio chiefs that the strike could harm investor confidence, as pension funds invested in media companies are unhappy with the treatment of workers.
