What you just described has nothing to do with vfx at all. Actors and on set crew are already unionized.

- ceejayoz 3y ago> Actors and on set crew are already unionized. Again, in a special way that is not common in the US, because of the transient nature of movie productions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectoral_collective_bargaining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectoral_collective_bargaining Actors and crew have things like the SAG that negotiate with the movie industry as a whole, because it's functionally impossible for them to unionize otherwise. If you're a unionized Starbucks worker, they don't negotiate with the coffee industry, they negotiate with management at your one particular Starbucks store, because that store is an ongoing permanent concern. VFX artists employed by a permanently-existing organization like Marvel don't need this exception. (Ones employed by a transient production company for a single film would.)
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhy are you acting like an industry wide union is some exceptional thing that can't happen? There have been union vfx and animation studios in the past. The industry is broken up into many companies, which is why people talk about unionizing as a whole. What is the actual point you are trying to make here?
