"You start to think your savings are not great, your medication is expensive, and other expenses to cover are difficult," said Cendejas, 43. Janitors - like caterers, carpenters and costume workers and other Hollywood trades - have been swept up in the economic downturn that has come with the so-called "hot labor summer" in Hollywood. Cendejas hopes the strikes will end soon, but she is not encouraged by what she has seen. While recovering from her surgery, she embroiders handmade napkins to sell and bring in some income for her home.

CNN —Several hundred janitors marched to join writers on the picket line outside Sony Pictures and Amazon Studios Thursday, as some custodial staff have lost their jobs while productions are halted. The union did not have an estimate for impacts on custodial workers in other major filming hubs like Georgia and New York. “Several businesses anecdotally already started cutting staff,” Klowden said. “Then does it become permanent?”Klowden noted the dry cleaners, caterers, “Star Wagons,” restaurants, and custodial staff. The Motion Picture Association told CNN that in 2021, the film and TV industry supported 822,000 direct jobs, while supporting a total of 2.4 million jobs.

☆ California court upholds treating app-based drivers as contractors
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Daniel Wiessner | Thomson Reuters | Dan Wiessner | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based court reversed a lower court ruling in 2021 that the ballot measure, known as Proposition 22, was unconstitutional. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and several gig drivers who challenged Prop 22 will likely appeal the decision to the California Supreme Court, the state's top court. Prop 22 was approved in November 2020 by nearly 60% of voters in California. It exempted app-based drivers from a 2019 state law known as AB5 that makes it difficult to classify workers as independent contractors rather than employees. "Across the state, drivers and couriers have said they are happy with Prop 22, which affords them new benefits while preserving the unique flexibility of app-based work," West said.
