More than 300 Hollywood women including Meryl Streep, America Ferrera and Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Thompson and Cate Blanchett unveiled an initiative Monday to tackle pervasive sexual harassment in workplaces, calling special attention to their “sisters” in less than glamorous blue-collar jobs. It was one of the first major media investigations into sexual harassment in blue-collar workplaces. The group insists that more women must be brought into positions of power and leadership, while every woman should have equal benefits, opportunities, pay and representation. Several of Weinstein’s accusers signed the open letter. Weinstein has denied some of the allegations, including Hayek’s assertion that he pressured her to do a nude sex scene in one movie.
