Been following this on Twitter, but amazed it's real. Thought it had to be a clerical error. But, no it's real and casts a shadow on Universal during these strikes. A shadow taken away from strikers.
Universal trimmed trees it didn't own on the surrounding sidewalks around it, so strikers wouldn't have shade from the hot sun. I'm not sure who thought that was a good idea. But, makes Universal look like a cartoon supervillain.
UPDATE:

With cooperation from the Bureau of Street Services, we have found that no tree trimming permits have been issued over the last three years for this location outside Universal Studios.
Also, the City did not issue any tree trimming permits for the latest tree trimmings. https://t.co/8ge7LElRao pic.twitter.com/JChoiNvHhW
Got to meet the Mayor of Burbank briefly at the TreeGate location while striking earlier. He said Universal did not have permits and will be hit with as many fines as possible. pic.twitter.com/UYTvvbCzib
