The Walt Disney Company’s 20th Television Animation will voluntarily recognize that production and IT workers at The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad can be represented for collective bargaining by The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839.
According to the Guild, an arbitrator will conduct a formal card count to certify the results later this week.
The news was made public yesterday, as TAG also announced voting members from across the industry had overwhelmingly elected to ratify a new three-year contract for 2021-2024. That ratification came after an agreement between TAG and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) was announced in May.
