This #LaborDay, hear from writers on depicting worker power in film and TV. The lesson: storylines about workplace unrest, unionizing, and strikes take a healthy dose of conviction and caution. Pictured: Scene from I Love Boosters, Written by Boots Riley. #Writtenby vist.ly/5hkam

Let's do TV and film tropes. I'll start... I'm the cast that takes one last look at the apartment/home/office before turning off the lights and closing the door in the final episode (see: Three's Company, Mary Tyler Moore Show, et al.)

Solid list...IMHO I would've ranked "maligned" 80s albums "Dirty Work" and "Undercover" higher than several of their mediocre 90s albums, but hey it's only rock 'n roll... www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
