The Jim Henson Studios lot is a cultural landmark, built by Charlie Chaplin in the late 1910s as his first film studio
— and it’s where he built sets and shot many of his most recognizable movies.

It’s also home to the Henson Recording Studios, formerly owned by A&M Records, where stars like Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have recorded albums.
 That’s why speculation swirled around what might happen to the history-steeped lot when the Henson family announced that they were reportedly looking for a buyer — after decades in the locale, so that they could consolidate the studio’s operations.

Last week, though, news broke that musician #John #Mayer and producer #McG were slated to buy the lot for for $40 million.

Mayer, who has an office on the rambling studio lot full of little bungalows and a former soundstage, had been working to buy the property with McG for months, reports the Los Angeles Times.

The mononymous McG is a prominent Hollywood producer and director known for everything from “Charlie’s Angels” to film-to-TV reboots like “True Lies.”

(At the moment, the Henson-owned Creature Shop animation and special effects studio is housed in an unmarked building in Burbank).

Some of the Trump administration’s anti-worker moves included

♦️rescinding a Biden-era executive order that raised the minimum wage for federal workers,

♦️rolling back laws prohibiting workplace discrimination,

♦️pulling out of an international agreement that would have imposed a minimum tax on corporations,

♦️and killing dozens of workplace safety rules.

Trump’s most vicious moves targeted immigrant workers,
many of whom have been terrorized by the unrelenting barrage of ICE raids throughout their communities and workplaces

Things may become even more dire in 2026, as many Trump appointees are poised to wield power.

💥#Wayne #Palmer, a coal industry executive, will serve as the assistant secretary of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

💥#David #Keeling will head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

💥Keeling previously oversaw health and safety protocols at Amazon and UPS,
and the companies collectively racked up over 300 workplace safety citations and $2 million in OSHA fines while he was in charge.

💥#Andrew #Rogers, a former attorney at the anti-union law firm Littler Mendelson, will serve as the next administrator of the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division.

🔥Additionally, Trump’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) may soon begin deciding cases.

💥Upon arriving in the White House, Trump illegally fired board member Gwynne Wilcox, depriving the agency of the necessary quorum of at least three members.

💥The board also paused all active investigations, including two dozen inquiries into companies owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk.

💥In July, Trump finally selected two new members:
#James #Murphy, who has spent many years as counsel to Republican NLRB members,
💥and #Scott #Mayer, who currently serves as the chief labor counsel for Boeing and formerly worked for the anti-union law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.

💥In February, NLRB Acting General Counsel #William #Cowen rescinded more than two dozen Biden-era General Counsel memos addressing issues such as the electronic monitoring of workers and the employment status of college athletes.

🔥If its quorum is reestablished, the board is expected to take these efforts a step further and overturn Biden-era rulings.
💥These include the ban on “captive audience” meetings, in which employers effectively force workers to sit through anti-union propaganda
💥and the 2023 Cemex case decision, which determined that, if a majority of workers sign union affiliation cards, employers have to either recognize the union or hold an election within two weeks.

❌“There is a very strong likelihood that the #NLRB will achieve quorum in the new year and begin a more aggressive attack on workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain,”
Margaret Poydock, a senior policy analyst at EPI, told Truthout.

🆘“President Trump is the largest union buster in U.S. history, and his interference with the independence of the NLRB will result in the further weakening of our nation’s labor laws.”
