The entertainment industry is witnessing a significant labor movement, with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), Teamsters, and other unions rallying in Encino for fair labor practices and against corporate greed. The event, dubbed 'Many Crafts One Fight,' saw key figures such as IATSE boss Matthew Loeb, who spoke on the "Precarious" state of Hollywood and upcoming studio talks, and Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, express their readiness to strike if necessary. Loeb criticized the corporations for their greed, while O’Brien emphasized the unions' willingness to strike this summer for a fair deal. Lindsay Dougherty, from Teamsters Local 399, rallied the crowd with a powerful message: "We will shut them down for good." The rally, supported by various Hollywood basic crafts, highlighted the industry's solidarity and the potential for significant disruption if their demands are not met.
