Walt Disney Pictures visual effects workers take a historic step, joining Marvel Studios members in an effort to form a union
Star Wars
films in the 1970s, visual effects members have largely remained non-union. Whereas, IATSE has historically represented production designers, camera operators, hair and makeup artists, costume designers, and other backstage crews in TV and film. As unionized writers and actors picket for fairer contracts, visual effects professionals across film and TV are asking for the same rights and protections that other unionized workers receive. For Disney crews, a labor board election could take place as early as Sept. 11. To IATSE president Matthew D. Loeb, the push to unionize is a united movement across several industries that are setting a precedent of dignity and fairness.
“The determination of these VFX workers is not just commendable, it’s groundbreaking,” Loeb wrote. “Their collective action against the status quo represents a seismic shift in this critical moment in our industry.”
