IATSE, which also runs the powerful Animation Guild Local 839 out of Los Angeles, says that organizing a union will give collective voice to workers’ concerns and requests. Some of the things it aims to achieve at DNEG Vancouver include:

• More transparency and consistency in the decisions that impact our daily lives
• Improvements to current working conditions (i.e. salary, vacation)
• Enhanced RRSP and health benefits
• Sustainability in the Canadian VFX industry as a whole
• Access to legal counsel
• Protections from sudden and unjust layoffs
• Strong representation and solidarity across the Canadian VFX industry

Tim Sweeney sent the following email to Epic employees:

As we shared earlier, we are laying off around 16% of Epic employees. We’re divesting Bandcamp and spinning off most of SuperAwesome.

For a while now, we’ve been spending way more money than we earn, investing in the next evolution of Epic and growing Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators. I had long been optimistic that we could power through this transition without layoffs, but in retrospect I see that this was unrealistic.
