Over the past few days, many of our readers have written to ask and asked where they could find a picket line to walk in solidarity with The Writers Guild. The strike over 11,000 TV & Film writers has inspired the nation with many workers relating to the struggles of unionized writers fighting to save their jobs from the gig economy.
So, we made this map of picket lines so folks could see, where the closet picket line is and folks couldget down there to support the Writers Guild.
Most of the picket lines are in New York City and LA. However, there have been picket lines in Atlanta, North Carolina, and Chicago, and anyone that Writers Guild members are employed on film projects that happen all over the country.
