The Directors Guild of America and IATSE are urging California Attorney General Rob Bonta to settle his antitrust lawsuit with Paramount, arguing that prolonged uncertainty over the Warner Bros. Discovery merger is bad for the industry.

The two unions wrote a letter to Bonta and Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison on Wednesday, urging the two sides to come to an agreement that would include conditions to address concerns over harms to competition.
