‘Star Wars’ Franchise Visual Effects Workers Unionize With IATSE

Deadline
A group of U.S.-based visual effects workers across the Star Wars franchise productions have organized with IATSE.
The new bargaining unit, announced Tuesday, includes U.S. workers who contribute to titles including, but not limited to, The Mandalorian & Grogu, Ahsoka, and Star Wars: Starfighter, per the union.
These VFX professionals, who “overwhelmingly supported” union membership, will now collectively bargain with the studio on their first contract.
“We are proud to welcome these visual effects professionals into our proud Union.”
The latest round of Star Wars VFX workers join several other cohorts of their colleagues across Disney‘s Marvel Studios, Walt Disney Pictures and the Avatar franchise who ratified their first IATSE contracts with the studio last year.
