The New York City Council has unanimously passed resolutions supporting the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes against Hollywood studios.
On Thursday, the council voted to pass bills Resolution 694 and Resolution 729, which were sponsored by councilmembers Carmen De La Rosa and Amanda Farias in support of fair contract negotiations for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Of the strikes, De La Rosa cheekily nodded to Disney CEO Bob Iger in a statement sent to TheWrap, saying, “Bob better sell that yacht quick!” She also referred to the greater trend of labor unions demanding livable wages and productive change in their respective industries, coining it a “hot labor summer.”
