Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Friday stepped up her efforts to cajole a resolution to the ongoing actors and writers strike, calling the matter and “important inflection point for our city’s signature industry has caused ripple effects throughout our economy as well as that of the state and the country.”
“Communication reopening between representatives of the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers is an encouraging development especially as this historic moment continues to have profoundly negative impacts on our economy and many of our community members, Bass said in a statement.
She added: ” The impact has spanned every corner of Los Angeles — from the writers and actors on the picket line trying to make ends meet to keep a roof over their head and food on the table, to businesses who rely on the entertainment industry.
