No To Unionization of Parking Production Assistants

Parking Production Assistants and Coordinators, primarily

over a dozen feature films & numerous commercial production

jobs in NYC. These profitable production companies, such as

NBC Universal which produces “Law and Order” and the new

hit TV show “30 Rock” also benefit from publicly funded tax

breaks.So why don’t they recognize the rights of the Parking

Assistants and Coordinators to unionize?
