The Communication Workers of America and their CODE-CWA initiative do forcefully target tech workers, but in the media realm and in Hollywood, keep your eyes on other unions. The Animation Guild of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) recently unionized production workers on Hulu’s Solar Opposites series. The Guild made it known that they have pinpointed further targets as well.
In the media realm, Condé Nast editorial, video, and production employees from several publications (including GQ, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, and Vogue) wish to collectively bargain (and ask for voluntary company recognition) as the Condé Nast Union under NewsGuild. The union began pursuing Condé workers years ago and saw a first infiltration of the global mass media company at The New Yorker in 2018.
