Marvel VFX Workers Join IATSE in Unanimous Unionization Vote

Marvel Studios' visual effects workers have unanimously voted to unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), marking the first time a unit of solely VFX workers has unionized with IATSE. The move comes as Marvel movies and other special effects-heavy blockbusters face criticism for the demanding workload and tight deadlines placed on VFX teams. The next step for the union is to engage in collective bargaining negotiations with Marvel Studios executives to address the workers' needs. The unionization vote coincides with ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) in their pursuit of fair contracts with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

Disney VFX Workers Unionize for Better Conditions

Visual effects crews at Walt Disney Pictures have filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for an election to unionize, with over 80% of the in-house VFX crew members signing authorization cards. This follows the recent unionization of VFX crews at Marvel Studios. The unionizing workers are demanding fair compensation, healthcare, retirement benefits, and the same rights and protections as their unionized colleagues. A labor board election could take place in the next few weeks, and if the majority votes in favor of unionizing, the studio will be required to negotiate a contract with the workers.

Marvel VFX Workers Successfully Unionize for the First Time

Over 50 on-set VFX workers at Marvel have filed a petition for an election to be represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), marking the first time visual-effects professionals have demanded union recognition. The workers seek the same rights, wage protections, and professional oversight enjoyed by other entertainment industry workers. VFX workers have historically been denied benefits such as paid overtime and healthcare, despite their increasing indispensability in popular culture. The move comes amid a larger labor movement in Hollywood, with the Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild on strike, and increasing fan dissatisfaction with the quality of CGI in Marvel movies and series. A VFX workers strike is not out of the question, as it is a battle-tested route to union recognition.
