Jan. 14, 2025 | SOLIDARITY | Teamsters Local 399, the union that represents workers in the entertainment industry, came to the aid of a local fire station as the Los Angeles fires continued to burn through the city. Station 19 in Brentwood had been without electricity and hot water for several days, according to KCAL news. “They have been having to navigate their strategy and responding to these fires using flashlights and such, but about an hour and a half ago … Teamsters 399 showed up and made a big delivery,” KCAL’s Laurie Perez reported Sunday.
