On Monday, the Visual effects crews at Marvel Studios took a step towards unionization by filing for a unionization election with the National Labor Relations Board, as stated by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. The labor organization mentioned that over 50 workers from Marvel’s crew have signed authorization cards expressing their desire to be represented by the union. These VFX professionals are directly employed by Marvel and primarily operate in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York. However, it’s important to note that this group doesn’t include the thousands of VFX artists working on Marvel movies through third-party VFX studios. As of now, Marvel has not voluntarily recognized the union effort, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Marvel has not yet responded to requests for comment.
