Though TAG has been busy organizing production workers at studios including Bento Box Entertainment and ShadowMachine since the start of the year, \u201cTo date, this is the largest bargaining unit of production workers to organize under The Animation Guild,\u201d TAG said in a statement. According to TAG, a \u201csupermajority\u201d of this group voted to join the Guild in a card count.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has asked Nickelodeon for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    With a union, Nickelodeon production workers say they are attempting to boost wages \u2014 which several claimed Monday are currently untenable for those living in the Los Angeles area \u2014 and lower healthcare costs. \u201cThe current pay gap for production roles makes it near impossible to survive in Los Angeles. Many of us have taken the shame of asking our parents for money so we can pay rent and eat,\u201d says production coordinator Ryan Brodsky said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re working full time for one of the largest corporations on earth and there\u2019s no reason that our parents should be funding this multi-billion dollar corporation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    CG asset production coordinator Minh-Chau Nguyen added that \u201cmany\u201d colleagues have attempted to earn more by taking on side jobs, working more overtime, taking out loans or asking friends and family for help. \u201cThis unsustainable model of working more for less needs to end now. With voluntary recognition from Nickelodeon, my hope is that the future generation of production workers can focus on building their career instead of worrying about unlivable wages, work-life imbalance, and inadequate benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Nickelodeon management was <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roached about voluntarily recognizing the worker group, but attorneys representing the employer responded by \u201cchoosing to exclude a strategic group of production workers based solely on job title to capitalize on common misconceptions of labor law,\u201d according to TAG. TAG says it \u201cmay\u201d file for a union election with the National Labor Relations as soon as next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    TAG already represents more than 400 animation artists at Nickelodeon that are covered under one labor contract. With its organizing drive, TAG is attempting to include production workers under that same contract, but it says that so far management has sought to cover the group under a separate agreement \u201cthat does not offer the same rights and protections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThe company shared its preference to keep the productive working relationship a priority when discussing the impending negotiations for the existing bargaining unit,\u201d TAG\u2019s business representative Steve Kaplan said in a statement. \u201cIt is therefore a surprise and shame that the company is choosing to put that relationship in jeopardy by forcing us to go to the NLRB and possibly take escalating action to achieve our goal of the inclusion of the production staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
