Hollywood Workers Rally for an End to Writers' Strike

wga nip/tuck rally strike protest post-production

About 500 support and production workers marched down Hollywood Boulevard to urge an end to the strike that has paralyzed the movie and television industry. The "Strike a Deal" march brought together workers who are not on strike themselves but who have been laid off or are losing business as a result of the WGA strike, which appears far from over as it enters its sixth week.

Today's rally and march -- from Grauman's Chinese Theatre to Hollywood and Vine -- was planned in recent weeks by members of an independent, grass-roots coalition of industry workers.
