CULVER CITY, Calif. (KABC) -- Hundreds of union janitors took to the picket lines Thursday, standing in solidarity with Hollywood film and television writers who have been on strike for more than a month. More than 400 janitorial workers gathered in front of the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City to celebrate "Justice for Janitors Day," a campaign that began 33 years ago to raise industry standards for janitors. "We're so lucky that we happen to be picketing at this location and we can have this cross-union solidarity," said Kayla Westergard-Dobson, a member of the Writers Guild of America.
