Here’s a general strike question: 1) Is the expectation that every entrance to an employer will be picketed? And 2) - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:24 4
- Picket lines are metaphorical more than physical. The latter is a visualization that represents the former. -- nm - Qale May 12, 21:17
- Teamsters have said they will not cross any picket line so it's not a theoretical thing. lot gates are pretty much all covered but location shoots are - hollywood big shot May 12, 20:30 2
  - That’s the thing. Location shoots. If they (the picketers) don’t “catch you”, then you’re not really crossing the picket line? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:37 1
    - shows only shoot partially on location so if they can shut it down on the lot, showrunners have so far been suspending production in general it seems -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 12, 20:39
Yes, I heard that the number of picketers (at Netflix) were higher this week than last. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:22 8

  - My neighbor has been picketing every day at Amazon. It's pretty crowded. -- nm - jnine May 12, 20:28 3
    - westsiders can’t hang past the 405 -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 21:19 2
      - It's on the other side of the 405 from us. We are west! -- nm - jnine May 12, 22:35 1

  - Isn’t it counter-productive to picket Netflix HQ? I mean, it’s not a shooting lot, like Universal or WB or Sony, right? - Mop🧹 May 12, 20:26 2
    - I wonder if there are any picketers up here at their actual company hq. I haven’t seen anything about it, but haven’t checked much local news this - i.b! May 12, 20:50
    - yes and no. can't shut stuff down there but it's the most high-profile location for things like Katie Porter showing up today -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 20:28
