Heat Forces Suspension of Los Angeles Picketing by SAG-AFTRA and WGA

SAG-AFTRA and the WGA have suspended picketing at multiple locations in Los Angeles due to extreme heat, with picketing canceled in the San Fernando Valley and at Disney and Warner Bros. Picketing will continue as normal in other locations, but will also be suspended on Friday and Monday for Labor Day. This is not the first time picketing has been affected by weather, with last week's empty picket lines due to Hurricane Hilary's landfall. The WGA strike has reached its 119th day, with deep divisions remaining between the studios and the writers.
