DISCLAIMER: There are no definitions in our current contract to distinguish the different bible types, so these guidelines are the WCC's suggestion.

We’re creating a huge change in culture in our Union. Building engagement takes a long time and there are no shortcuts. But things only get better if we get involved. The Union is all of us, not some external entity! ❤️

61% of polled business leaders see generative Al disrupting the jobs of animation workers, with 29% of them in danger of being displaced. Gen Al is trained on the work of writers and artists, without whom AI is nothing. PEOPLE
make animation.

Think we're exaggerating about how bad our freelance unit rates are? We have the data, and we have the testimonials. When writers fall off their health insurance despite working full time hours it's not just a problem, it's a CRISIS.

Freelance writer unit rates are destroying the craft of animation writing. These aren't just bad rates, they are UNLIVABLE. They are turning a career into a hobby, only viable for those who are already well off. When we say we can't live off of these wages we mean it.

Leave creativity to humans. We have a good track record. Animation workers have made Studios LITERALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS but sure, throw your money in the Gen Al dumpster fire because unregulated tech has always been a good investment *COUGH NFTS COUGH*
