\n\tThe vote, which concluded Wednesday, marks the first union election that the Production Assistants United movement, which is affiliated with the LiUNA Local, has won at a CBS Studios production. Out of 25 eligible production assistants, 13 voted to join LiUNA Local 724 in the National Labor Relations Board election, while the ballots of three were challenged. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur unanimous decision is a testament to the power of production assistants and the need for change in the entertainment industry. We are excited to come together and begin the work of negotiating our first contract,\u201d the production assistants on the project said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\nThe Hollywood Reporter <\/em>has reached out to CBS Studios for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet to premiere this fall, Cupertino<\/em> follows a former lawyer for a start-up (Mike Colter) who, after being swindled by his former employer, opens up a law firm with another attorney to advocate for the little guy in disputes with tech titans. Despite the fact that it is set in Silicon Valley, the\u00a0Robert and Michelle King-created show has been shooting its first season in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe vote at Cupertino<\/em> is notable, given that so far the majority of the Production Assistants United movement\u2019s victories have taken place on Warner Bros. Television shows (The Pitt<\/em>,\u00a0Abbott Elementary, George & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0All American<\/em>) and Universal Television series (Chicago Med<\/em>,\u00a0Chicago Fire<\/em> and The Four Seasons<\/em>). The union\u2019s next step will be to come together with CBS Studios to negotiate a first contract. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the past, Production Assistants United contracts have entailed providing health coverage to production assistants, establishing minimum pay rates and holiday provisions and creating a committee to examine career pathways for these often early-career workers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShow by show and studio by studio, PAs are choosing union every time with\u00a0LiUNA Local 724,\u201d said Ethan Ravens, Director of Organizing of Production Assistants United. \u201cCupertino\u00a0<\/em>is the latest victory, and it will not be the last.\u201d<\/p>\n
