A strike-authorization vote is set for Sunday at 8am in Burbank during a general membership meeting, which if approved will give the Teamsters more leverage at the bargaining table. There has been talk of the transportation workers working under a contract extension if the their pact expires before a new one is in place but it is not set in stone. If the strike ultimately takes place, insiders say it will be ugly...not in terms of length and financial impact, but in tone. Hopefully, all can be worked out in time and the strike will be avoided. The economy, in its current state, is such that L.A. will surely be devastated by the trail unemployed workers the strike will leave in its midst. [THR]
Hollywood is always prepping for something...Let's prep to get these F|N fake ass reality stars out of the wood!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a big issue- People better figure this out because the Teamsters could do a country wide shut down in support of their hollywood brothers- this is something to pay attention to- as to reality "stars" please- those punks are just stupid.....
ReplyDeleteLOL re the Reality Stars. They aren't doing anything but growing right now. It's a booming industry-- reality tv.
ReplyDeleteRe the possible strike, the Writer's Strike almost single-handedly took out L.A. It was a horrible time and some are still recovering. I shudder to think of what another strike would bring.
