Thousands of workers from many unions shut down major intersections outside Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena during Friday rush hour on May 26, in a display of labor power and solidarity with striking Hollywood writers. Some 11,500 strikers of the Writers Guild are entering their fourth week of battle

The “Unions Strike Back” march, rally and dance party was called by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. It clogged the intersection of South Figueroa and West 12th streets for hours. A Teamsters flatbed truck served as the soundstage, positioned to target the California Democratic Convention, meeting across the street at the LA Convention Center. The CDC is a recipient of millions of dollars in donations from big studio bosses and their banking financiers.
