DreamWorks Remote Workers, Netflix and ‘Ted’ Show Production Workers Vote to Form Unions

In three separate National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) victories, DreamWorks
Animation remote workers, feature production staff at Netflix Animation Studios and production workers on the show “Ted” have voted to join with The Animation Guild (TAG), IATSE Local 839, and the Motion Picture Editors Guild, IATSE Local 700.
These resounding election wins were fueled by members’ commitment to ensuring fair pay and treatment for all animation workers.
“These units overwhelmingly voted in favor of TAG representation after facing the degrading process of being forced into an NLRB election and the unnecessary delay of the government shutdown,” said TAG’s Business Representative Steve Kaplan. “We are continuing to expand our jurisdiction both inside and outside the scope of our Master Agreement as we continue to look forward to protecting the rights of all animation workers regardless of zip code.”
