“In a letter sent Thursday to Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers president Carol Lombardini, 120 senators and representatives including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Adam Schiff, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand say that “we support the principles of adequate sleep, meal breaks and living wages for all.”
