In Hollywood, production of new shows is stalled. An actors strike against the big movie studios has been running for a month and a half, and a writers strike is on month number four. Rick Vargas of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 933 says, “The 22nd is the expiration of our contract. We’ll be in negotiations with Raytheon. We’ll be looking to go out there and get a fair contract, looking forward to bargaining in good faith with Raytheon and as always we’re looking to come to an agreement for our members at the end of that contract.”
“And now we're seeing workers demand that they take part of the gains that private companies are making the billions of dollars that companies are making workers want a fair share.”
