Workers on the Netflix series The Four Seasons, which shoots in New York, have voted in a National Labor Relations Board election to unionize with Production Assistants United. Ballots were due by the end of the day on Monday and were counted on Thursday, with 19 crew members voting to join the union and one voting against. Thirty-four people were eligible to participate. "We're proud of all that we've accomplished in our organizing efforts so far. This victory is a small step toward workplaces better valuing their employees' wellbeing," said The Four Seasons production assistant Jenny Rich in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Four Seasons, produced by Universal Television and created by Tina Fey, follows a group of married friends whose idyllic seasonal vacations are thrown into disarray when one couple heads for a divorce. The show features a star-studded cast including Fey, Steve Carell, Will Forte and Colman Domingo. THR has reached out to Universal Television for comment. The results arrive a few months after the show's production assistants went public with their attempt to join the union, which is affiliated with Hollywood laborers' group LiUNA Local 724. In statements at the time, production assistants on the show expressed their wish for parity with their unionized colleagues on benefits like healthcare and reimbursement for tolls and mileage. "Ultimately, what we are asking for is pretty basic and common practice for the majority of a film's crew members," Rich added in her statement to THR. "We want to be paid a living wage for the actual hours we have worked and be afforded the protections that a union provides." Since affiliating with LiUNA Local 724 in 2024, the Production Assistants United movement has won additional union elections in California (The Pitt, Abbott Elementary, All American, George & Mandy's First Marriage) and Illinois (Chicago Fire). Said organizer Ethan Ravens in a statement, "This win proves this campaign is spreading to every corner of the country and every corner of the this industry."
