BREAKING: Marvel Studios’ Visual Effects (VFX) Workers UNANIMOUSLY voted in favor of unionizing with IATSE in a labor board election.

BREAKING: IATSE Allocates Additional $2 Million in Support of Members Affected by Film and TV Work Stoppages
The move brings the total allocation of funds for members affected by the work stoppages to $4 Million, and allows us to focus mutual aid on those who need it most.
We are witnessing an unprecedented wave of solidarity that’s breaking down old barriers in the industry and proving we’re all in this fight together.
That doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
