Your bravery, determination, and unity are a beacon for workers not just in VFX, not just in entertainment, but workers in every industry across this country and beyond.
According to the NLRB. the new bargaining unit includes VFX Production Manager, VFX Associate Production Manager, VFX Coordinator, VFX Assistant Coordinator, VFX Production Assistant, VFX Production Artist , Lead VFX Data Wrangler, VFX Data Wrangler, VFX Jr. Data Wrangler, VFX Witness Camera Operator, and VFX Texture Photographer. Excluded from the bargaining unit are all other employees, guard, confidential employees, and supervisors as defined by the National Labor Relations Act.
“Today, VFX workers at Marvel Studios spoke with a unanimous, collective voice, demanding fair pay for the hours they work, healthcare, a safe and sustainable working environment, and respect for the work they do,” said Mark Patch, IATSE’s VFX organizer. “There could be no stronger statement highlighting the overwhelming need for us to continue our work and bring union protections and standards to all VFX workers across the industry.

Not only will this radically change the game by increasing the quality of storytelling through our work, it’s also a huge step forward for taking care of the unsung individuals who helped to build the industry.”
