Apple Studios VFX Workers Move To Unionize Under IATSE
Visual effects workers at Apple are looking to become a bargaining unit within IATSE
The guild announced Friday that it has filed for a National Labor Relations Board election after a supermajority of the 17 employees across six Apple series have signed authorization cards. The employees under the proposed bargaining unit work across shows including Bubbi, Jiminy, Foxtrot, Government Cheese, Surface and Blackbird.
