Visual effects workers at Walt Disney file petition to unionize
Disney employees in the visual effects division have filed a National Labor Relations Board petition to hold union elections. If Disney VFX workers are successful, they will be represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which currently represents various workers in the entertainment industry, such as production designers and set workers. If enough workers vote in support of unionization, the Walt Disney Company is obligated to bargain in good faith. Other VFX workers in the industry have also filed to unionize recently, with Marvel VFX workers and Gladius Studios VFX employees both voting on union representation earlier this month.
