We won\'t grasp all the repercussions of 2023\'s \'Hot Labor Summer\' for years to come, but one place where the effects are already being noted is Hollywood. Building on the momentum of the newly-chartered IATSE Local 111, which represents thousands of commercial production workers across the country, production assistants in the Film and TV sector are coming together to fight back against exploitative working conditions in the industry. The Real News speaks with organizers from Production Assistants United to understand the conditions faced by production workers in Film and TV, and how the unionization of these PAs could reshape the politics of Hollywood labor.

Editor\'s note (11/14/23): This interview was recorded on Nov. 2, before SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on Nov. 9.
