> 80% of Walt Disney VFX workers have voted to try and unionize. Earlier this month the VFX folks from Marvel voted to do the same.
If you're not aware, the VFXs treatment of its workers has been unquestionably immoral, and cruel (like ~100hr weeks frequently without extra pay) and it's been getting worse for years.
This is largely the result of the job bidding process. The VFX studios bid a a rate for N shots, & then the scope increases or they want something changed & the VFX house just has to eat the extra work with no increase in budget or timeline.
Workers get fucked. VFX studios keep going out of business.
Workers unionizing will FORCE a change to the system because then a VFX house can't do extra work, in the same time AND demand unhealthy hours and no / unreasonable compensation.
