Hollywood Strikes Continue Amid Reports of Shady Retaliation Tactics 

HeadlineJul 20, 2023

Meanwhile, L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia said the city did not issue any trimming permits for the shade-providing trees outside Universal Studios, which were trimmed down where union members are picketing amid a persistent heat wave.
