In this country, the rich are getting richer while working people are being squeezed by CEOs that make their money off the backs of hard-earned labor. They should not be treating workers this way,” said Nelini Stamp, National Director of Strategy and Partnerships for the Wfp, told Deadline.
A large billboard truck will feature graphics with messaging for the studios including “AMPTP, Pay Up!,” “Carole Lombardini [President of the AMPTP] Wants to Sink L.A.’s Economy By Not Giving Workers A Fair Contract,...
