Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on the Preservation of California’s Entertainment Industry Paul Krekorian congratulated the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for finally coming to an agreement to end the strike.

According to Krekorian, Los Angeles was severely impacted by the three-month strike. “This temporary disruption should be a clear and loud warning that California will be devastated by the permanent loss of production jobs, if we do not fight aggressively to make our state more competitive with the other states and countries that are working so hard to lure these jobs away from us,” he says.

The Committee is working hard to make California a stronger partner for the industry by studying the main factors that are causing problems in the entertainment workforce, including foreign and domestic tax incentives, and piracy of intellectual property content.
