LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Yolanda Cendejas was let go from her job as a studio janitor on May 5, days after Hollywood writers went on strike, leaving the Los Angeles resident without income and the health insurance she needs to cover treatment for her diabetes. "You start to think your savings are not great, your medication is expensive, and other expenses to cover are difficult," said Cendejas, 43. Janitors - like caterers, carpenters and costume workers and other Hollywood trades - have been swept up in the economic downturn that has come with the so-called "hot labor summer" in Hollywood.
