    NBCUniversal tree trimming impacts SAG-AFTRA picketers during heatwave

    NBCUniversal tree trimming impacts SAG-AFTRA picketers during heatwave

    The situation surrounding NBCUniversal's trimming of trees outside its studios, resulting in the elimination of shade during a searing heatwave and impacting SAG-AFTRA picketers, has drawn significant attention and concern reported CNN on July 19. The Los Angeles City Controller's office launched an investigation into the matter, acknowledging the essential role of trees in providing environmental and public health benefits, particularly during extreme weather conditions.

    Our Office is investigating the tree trimming that occurred outside Universal Studios where workers, writers, and actors are exercising their right to picket.

    The trimmed trees are LA City managed street trees.

    — LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia (@lacontroller) July 19, 2023

    The picketing by SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America (WGA) members in response to negotiations breakdown with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has intensified amid excessive heatwaves in parts of the country. The decision to ban music and religious classes for minors, and the trimming of trees affecting picketers, underscores the complexities and challenges surrounding labour disputes and workers' rights.

    While NBCUniversal stated that the tree trimming was not malicious and had been conducted for safety reasons annually, authorities contested this claim, pointing out that the trees in question were managed by the city, not the company. This raises questions about the accountability and proper compliance with regulations regarding tree trimming permits and public safety measures.

    SAG-AFTRA and WGA's filing of unfair labour practices charges against NBCUniversal further highlights the contentious nature of the dispute and the need to protect workers' rights to safely picket and express their demands for a fair contract.

    The labour dispute and the responses from all parties involved shine a light on the broader issue of workers' rights and the challenges faced by unions in maintaining worker dignity and human rights within corporate America. The historical significance of labour disputes in the US, their impact on workers' lives, and the enduring efforts to achieve fair treatment and improved working conditions underscore the ongoing struggle for worker representation and dignity.

    On July 14 Daryo mentioned that hollywood actors have joined the ongoing screenwriters' strike, leading to the biggest industry shutdown in more than six decades. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is advocating for better profit sharing and improved working conditions from major streaming platforms.
