Apple Studios VFX Workers Push for Unionization with IATSE

Seventeen employees from six Apple TV+ series seek representation amid industry-wide efforts to unionize VFX roles.

The petition for unionization was filed with the National Labor Relations Board after a supermajority signed authorization cards.
The union drive includes workers from series like 'Bubbi,' 'Jiminy,' 'Foxtrot,' 'Government Cheese,' 'Surface,' and 'Blackbird.'
IATSE aims to represent roles such as VFX production supervisors, coordinators, and on-set supervisors.
This move follows similar unionization efforts by VFX workers at Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures.
IATSE cites industry contraction and the need for better wages, benefits, and working conditions as key motivators.
