L.A. mayor joins actors unions fracas

Hollywood Reporter: "As representatives of SAG and AFTRA sat down Tuesday to start jointly discussing the wages and working conditions proposals to bring to their national boards for approval, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa injected himself into the labor issue, urging the unions to start talks early with the studios."

Here the power of entertainment unions can be truly seen. The request from the mayor of LA sounds desperate to ensure that the economy of LA stays afloat in these times where "recession" can be heard across the country. The impact of another strike would be enormous, but specifically in the realm of politics.
