That was accomplished, they say, due to guerrilla organizing tactics inspired in part by the successful union drive at Amazon’s Staten Island fulfillment center. For a few weeks, organizers have pitched a tent outside of a parking structure adjacent to the Warner Bros. studio lot where crew members and background actors tend to park. Arriving as early as 4:45 a.m. in the morning and leaving as late as 8 p.m. at night, the group says they’ve struck up conversations with all manner of crew members on The Pitt, who were easily recognizable because they were wearing scrubs (donned by The Pitt workers in case they are caught on camera).
