Video game workers ARE entertainment workers. Whether it’s animation, motion capture, broadcast, sound design, post-production or more, our work has significant overlap. These workers deserve the same rights and protections that are standard amongst union entertainment workers.

Greater Los Angeles Fires Relief and Response
Our union is mobilizing to provide mutual aid to members affected by the fires in the greater Los Angeles area. As part of this response, we’ve created a webpage with:
- Guidance for members who have lost their homes or been forced to evacuate
- Information on shelter options and financial aid opportunities.
- Instructions for individuals, employers, and Local Unions to donate to support affected members.
Mutual Aid Partnerships
Emergency financial assistance is available for people who are unable to pay their immediate basic living expenses (housing, food, utility bills or health care) due to the ongoing work stoppages in the film and tv industry.
