Production assistants on HBO Max’s The Pitt have unanimously voted to unionize, joining LiUNA Local 724 in a first-of-its-kind move for a major TV drama. The election marks a milestone for the grassroots Production Assistants United movement, which has been pushing for higher wages, union health benefits, stronger grievance procedures, and clearer career paths. Organizers say the victory highlights long-overdue recognition for PAs, whose work has often been undervalued in Hollywood. Supporters framed the outcome as not just a workplace win, but a signal of broader momentum for behind-the-scenes workers across the industry.
