The union movement comes after VFX workers at Marvel Studios voted to do the same.
The Big Picture Visual effects artists at the House of Mouse's flagship studio are about to get a strong labor force behind them. VFX employees at Walt Disney Pictures have unanimously voted to unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees , becoming the second in-house visual effects group to join a union. The vote puts Disney's VFX artists in a prime position to push for fairer wages amidst an ongoing reckoning over working conditions in Hollywood.
"Today’s unanimous victory shows that VFX workers everywhere have a clear path to winning a meaningful say about their working conditions and quality of life. We’ll be continuing our work to win a great contract, but we need to bring every studio and vendor in line to bring those union standards to all VFX workers."
