Visual effects artists at Walt Disney Studios this week filed for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board, signaling a historic change in the industry.
Over 80% of the studio’s VFX workers voted to approve the filing with the NLRB, and the petition was filed Monday. The union election could begin in the next few weeks and will likely pass. If the workers vote to form a union, they will begin bargaining for a contract with Disney.
The filing is the second time in VFX history that workers have moved to unionize. The first was earlier this month when VFX talent at Marvel Studios moved to authorize a union vote. Ballots for the Marvel VFX union are due Sept. 11.
