LOS ANGELES — Unions representing teachers, truck drivers and other workers who will be headed soon to the bargaining table turned out in downtown Los Angeles on Friday to support Hollywood's striking film and television writers.
On Friday, a few hundred members of unions in the tourism and hospitality industries, teachers, logistics workers and public employees rallied in downtown Los Angeles in a show of unity. "It's going to be a hot labour summer," Lorena Gonzalez, executive secretary of the California Labour Federation, told the crowd. "It's your strength in standing together that's going to ensure the next generation of workers have the ability to live."
Writer Danielle Roderick said she hoped the writers would lead a movement of "everybody not taking it."
