You may have heard, in the news, about a possible labor strike in Hollywood.

While, from the outside, Hollywood may seem like a glamorous place to work and live, the reality is that most of the workers who create the television shows and movies that we love to enjoy aren’t being treated fairly in the workplace. Many workers in the entertainment industry work 12 - 16 hour days and barely make enough to live paycheck to paycheck in Los Angeles.

To get a more clear understanding of what is going on in Hollywood right now, and why a strike seems likely, I reached out to my friend Hannah Jacobs.

Hannah is a second generation designer in the Film and television industry so she has an incredibly clear understanding on the working conditions in the industry and what can be done to make the industry a more fair place for the workers who make the entertainment that we enjoy.
