Lawmakers Seek Job Protections in Warner Bros. Sale to Netflix/Paramount Skydance
Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Laura Friedman press Netflix and Paramount Skydance to publicly commit to protecting and growing U.S. film/TV jobs (especially in Los Angeles) if they acquire Warner Bros., citing a downturn in domestic production and the need to counter cost-cutting in potential mergers. The letter also asks for continued union labor use and AI practices that don’t displace workers, and signals support for a bipartisan federal film incentive to bolster U.S. production.
