Visual effects (VFX) workers working on U.S. productions within the Star Wars franchise have organized with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) for collective bargaining, according to multiple outlets. The union announced a new bargaining unit that covers U.S.-based VFX workers who are directly engaged by Star Wars franchise productions. The scope includes workers contributing to titles such as The Mandalorian & Grogu, Ahsoka, and Star Wars: Starfighter, among others. The participating workers are described as having supported union membership “overwhelmingly” or “unanimously,” with reporting indicating that staffers demonstrated strong support before joining. Following the formation of the bargaining unit, the workers will collectively bargain through IATSE. Coverage also notes that the move involves on-set VFX staff tied to specific Star Wars projects, including Ahsoka and Starfighter, as part of a coordinated effort to establish union representation for these roles on franchise productions.
