Marvel VFX Workers Unanimously Vote to Unionize with IATSE in Historic Move
- Marvel's in-house visual effects workers have unanimously voted to unionize with IATSE, marking the first time a unit of solely VFX artists have joined the union.
- Motivated by difficult working conditions like long hours and tight deadlines, the VFX artists aim to negotiate better pay, benefits, and improved work-life balance through a union contract.
- The landslide 32-0 pro-union vote comes as Hollywood crews strike for better contracts, indicating growing unrest among entertainment industry workers.
