In a landmark move for the entertainment industry, Visual Effects (VFX) artists from a Walt Disney Studios subsidiary, working on the ‘Avatar’ film series, have filed for unionization with the National Labor Relations Board. This pioneering effort, led by 83 artists across various departments, aims to bring about equitable pay, better working conditions, and sustainable benefits, aligning the VFX sector with other unionized film departments. Spearheaded under the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), this initiative marks a significant step in a broader movement towards recognizing and protecting the rights of VFX workers in the film industry.
