NBCUniversal is slapped with a $250 fine for trimming trees along an LA sidewalk that had shaded actors and writers on strike

"We understand that the safety tree trimming of the Ficus trees we did on Barham Blvd. has created unintended challenges for demonstrators, that was not our intention," an NBCUniversal spokesperson said in a statement.

"In partnership with licensed arborists, we have pruned these trees annually at this time of year to ensure that the canopies are light ahead of the high wind season," the statement said."We support the WGA and SAG's right to demonstrate, and are working to provide some shade coverage. We continue to openly communicate with the labor leaders on-site to work together during this time.

When asked what shade coverage it would give, NBCUniversal said it has provided pop-up tents and water.
