The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has urged the Justice Department (DOD) to block Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery unless Paramount agrees to provide “substantial and enforceable safeguards” against job cuts and increased U.S. production. The Teamsters argue that the merger poses a direct threat to film and television workers, including nearly 15,000 Motion Picture Teamsters. The union has submitted a detailed report to the DOJ's Antitrust Division outlining its concerns. The merger would consolidate two major Hollywood studios and would further consolidate decision-making power in an industry already dominated by few corporations.
