[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Universal just cut all the trees that had provided shade to the striking workers. Wow.

Despicable. [/quote]

Here's a different link to this article: https://www.lamag.com/article/tree-pruning-universal-pictures-strike-spite/[/quote]

People should read the linked article. It gives more detail and notes that tree experts say this is absolutely not the time to prune these trees--they're likely going to be damaged or killed by this. The pruning would never be done at this time by the city, apparently. Gee, wonder who did it?

Separately but another example of the companies being a-holes to picketers: NBC Universal is proceeding with construction projects which directly block sidewalks and gates where picketing was taking place, which forces picketers into the street. Though the studio's work is part of an ongoing project (let's be clear about that) -- the result is serious enough that the LA Police Department's Labor Relations Unit came to inspect whether picketers were safe. The LAPD sees the hazard and has asked NBC Universal to put up temporary barriers in a way that would create a narrow pedestrian lane picketers could use. So far the studio is shrugging it off.  Does the studio HAVE to do what the LAPD requests in this case? Probably not. Is the studio being a grade A jerk? Yes. Full story here:
