Strikers in picket line at the entrance of Paramount Studios carry signs in many languages. In 1945 CSU (Confederation of Studios Union) workers went on strike against the producers union IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada). Many of the major movie studios, including Paramount Studios were affected by this strike. Photo dated: Friday, June 29, 1945.
