IATSE is ON STRIKE against CoComelon: The Melon Patch, a live-action spin-off of the union-made animated series. Rather than provide fair wages and benefits to the crew the producer is trying to hire scabs for the production that’s shooting in Sun Valley, Calif.

As May Day commemorates the history of labor movements and the struggle for workers’ rights around the globe, we honor those who paved the way and those who continue to fight for fair wages and conditions for all workers. (Thanks to Alex Untoria for the graphic!) #MayDay
