Animation Guild Ratifies New Contract

Slightly old news (but still) ...

Members of the Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839, have voted overwhelmingly to ratify a new film and TV contract. The vote to approve the three-year deal with management’s AMPTP was 868-213 – an approval margin of 80.3% to 19.7%.

Of the guild’s 3,695 eligible members, 1,081 (29.3%) cast ballots. ...

There was campaigning between pro-ratification and anti-ratification Guild members during the ratification process. In the end the "Yes" votes were in line with previous ratifications. The number of ratification participants was similar to earlier election cycles, though the vote totals were higher because the membership of TAG has grown over the previous decade and a half.
