Remote workers at DreamWorks Animation ratify their first collective bargaining agreement with The Animation Guild. The contract is ratified on Aug. 21, with 97% of participants voting in favor. According to one report, 90 of 108 eligible voters cast ballots, for an 83.3% turnout.
The agreement covers remote animation artists and technicians working on projects at the company. The Hollywood Reporter says workers represented by the Animation Guild approve a contract that includes minimum wage rates and provides retirement and health benefits. Other reporting frames the vote in the context of remote staffers newly represented in collective bargaining for work performed on the same productions.
Together, the accounts describe the union ratification process and the basic terms of the deal, emphasizing the workforce’s approval rate and the inclusion of compensation and benefits, without detailing additional provisions beyond those summarized.
