Janitors and Writers Unite on Picket Lines Amid Hollywood Strike Fallout
TL;DR Summary
Janitors who are not represented by the WGA have lost their jobs due to the strike, with about 50 members of the SEIU United Service Workers West in the Los Angeles area laid off so far. Some of these janitors joined writers on the picket line outside Sony Pictures and Amazon Studios in solidarity. The financial losses due to the WGA strike will be felt much sooner than the 100-day strike of 2007-08, with the industry anticipating the strike and laying people off earlier. The strike also affects businesses already struggling from pandemic closures and puts into question their resiliency.
