Organizing with IATSE, workers will vote on whether or not they wish to unionize starting on August 21.
house VFX workshop has collaborated with IATSE—the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees—and parent company Disney on a stipulated election agreement that will allow the workers to vote on whether or not they want to organize through a union.and ballots will be counted after the September 11 deadline.
Marvel’s VFX studio unionizing might be the first step toward other studios and shops organizing. Many production studios, even if they have in- house VFX teams, farm out a lot of work to independent studios, which hire people on a project-by-project basis. This constant churn of workers makes it difficult for smaller VFX studios to unionize and creates a system where anyone who attempts to do so might not be hired for additional work elsewhere.THR says that IATSE wants to “form a new national VFX Local that would cover VFX workers, whether they are employed directly by the studios, the production, or third-party VFX companies.
