Hollywood actors and writers have also united in a strike for the\u200c first time since 1960, and local hotel workers\u2064 in Los Angeles and Orange County have been protesting as \u2064well. The Hollywood strike has garnered support from 170,000\u200c actors and 12,500 writers, forming picket lines that demand \u2064fair treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 city of Los Angeles will undoubtedly feel the impact of these collective actions.
