flag Teamsters urge DOJ to block Paramount-Skydance/WBD merger, citing risks to 15,000 jobs and labor standards.

flag The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has urged the DOJ to block the proposed merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. flag Discovery, warning it could harm 15,000 film and TV workers, reduce domestic production, and weaken labor standards. flag The union cited past mergers, like Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox, as precedents for job losses and project cancellations. flag It demands enforceable safeguards to protect union jobs and production, stressing the entertainment industry’s instability. flag Despite Paramount Skydance’s pledge to produce 30 films annually and its hiring of former DOJ antitrust chief Makan Delrahim, the union remains skeptical and calls on the DOJ to uphold antitrust laws to protect workers.
