Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is urging Paramount and California Attorney General Rob Bonta to find common ground and settle a lawsuit that could block the proposed $110 billion merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. “As mayor, I cannot stand by while the job security of thousands of hardworking union members is being put at risk,” Bass said at a news conference Thursday. “That is why we are calling on Paramount, Attorney General Rob Bonta and all relevant parties to come together, engage directly and in good faith and work urgently to find common ground.” Bass’ comments were delivered after a meeting with labor leaders in the entertainment industry, IATI, the Directors Guild of America, and members of the mayor’s entertainment industry council, where she said opinions on the merger were varied, but in lockstep for finding a resolution quickly.
