On-set visual effects workers on multiple ‘Star Wars’ productions have voted to unionize, joining the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE). The new bargaining unit includes U.S. workers directly employed by Lucasfilm on titles such as ‘Ahsoka,’ ‘Starfighter,’ and ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu.’ The workers demonstrated ‘overwhelming’ support for the union, according to reports. The move covers employees responsible for on-set visual effects work, a role previously not unionized at this scale within the franchise. IATSE will now represent them in collective bargaining. The unionization effort reflects a broader push among Hollywood below-the-line workers to organize for better pay, safety, and conditions. Specific terms or a timeline for negotiations were not disclosed. The unit includes staff from at least three major ‘Star Wars’ projects, signaling a significant shift in how visual effects labor is structured in the industry. Both the Hollywood Reporter and Variety reported the news, citing the workers’ strong backing for IATSE representation. The development follows other organizing drives in the visual effects sector in recent years.
