Marvel's Visual Effects Workers Vote to Unionize, Demanding Fair Treatment

Visual effects (VFX) workers at Disney-owned Marvel have voted to join the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), marking the first time VFX professionals have sought union representation. Dissatisfied with compensation and demanding better working conditions, the workers have expressed concerns about unrealistic deadlines and lack of pay equity. The move comes amidst ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild, which have disrupted film and television production. The unionization effort reflects a growing wave of solidarity among entertainment workers advocating for their rights.
