The largest crew union in Hollywood has endorsed Tom Steyer, the hedge fund founder whose anti-corporate rhetoric has attracted labor backing in the race for California governor.

In making the announcement, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees noted Steyer’s interest in keeping film and TV production in Los Angeles. Steyer has also slammed the merger of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. and proposed a tax on AI computations in order to fund training for displaced workers.
