CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED

this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!

how does tumblr even work do you just like talk to yourself until people are like "i like this one"

this is actually exactly how it works

I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:

jesus fucking christ

"i wish i could do something 😔 / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at it" good news! it's amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike

i’m making out with ron perlman so hard rn

I can't remember who said it, but there's a great quote I read that went something like: "Corporations would do well to remember that workers didn't start striking out of a boorish refusal to negotiate, but rather out of a gracious reluctance to storm the factory owner's mansion and beat him to death in front of his children."

during the wga/sag-aftra strike, we may see:

yes that's how bourgeois media tries to trick workers into being against strikes. Any delays are solely due to United Parcels Service incorporated not properly paying their workers.

By not negotiating, the company - hand-in-hand with the bourgeois media trying to make that the sob story - are actually holding medical equipment for ransom.

If you're concerned about medical equipment maybe UPS should stop forcing its preload to go faster than it is safe, leaving open packages all over the place because they say that slows us down, loading tractor trailers not only to the ceiling but to the point where you can't even open them because they're that packed in. UPS is causing this shit, not Teamsters, not the employees.

UPS has never respected things like medical equipment and your packages. They don't care, it's all the bottom line.

This is what the company thinks of everyone’s packages, these are all from average days. This is what the Teamsters want to prevent by making kig conditions materially better for us.

I was quite literally told to stop repairing and taping open boxes by a manager because when you stop unloading a trailer for even ten seconds it “hurts production”.

I’m a package loader.

I have to step over piles and piles of packages to get inside a trailer that’s completely swamped with them. Yes, I am crushing your packages because my supervisor told me to.

I’m expected to lift 100+ pound packages at least 5 feet high into a trailer by myself. I’m 5′4.

I watched my supervisor stack a ULD in a way that was gonna make it hard for the next person. When I asked her about it, she said “That’s the point.”

I have to climb over and onto thin metal bars and walk on moving belts to unjam chutes because they’re so heavily backed up with packages. Those jammed packages also get massively crushed by the sheer weight of packages coming down. Sorry, your Amazon box got crushed, there was a 75 pound package that the unload team sent to me instead of setting it aside as an irregular like they’re supposed to because they’re being yelled at to unload faster.

I have had over 32 bruises from various packages beating me on one leg.

When my shift (Twilight) is understaffed, instead of asking people on day sort if they want to double (which I’ve heard they want to), the supervisors just do the work instead which they’re not even supposed to under our contract.

I had a supervisor accuse me of not wanting to work because I suddenly took a week off. I took that week off because I was so stressed out and suicidal that I couldn’t drive. He also tried to get me to quit in the same conversation.

I once accidentally broke something in a package and a supervisor told me to tape it up and send it anyways. It was an acrylic shelf display and it was extremely sharp.

This job is fucking cruel. And currently I am flat broke and have spent many weeks having to cut back on the amount of food I eat because I can’t afford anymore.

We do transport a lot of medical supplies, resources, test samples, etc and those people who work those jobs, who move all of those priceless items are paid the exact fucking same barely livable wage, and I would know because I’m one of them.

I’ve never been more disrespected at a job than I have here. Walmart treated me better than this.

UPS workers deserve so much more for the shit we have to go through.

Actually, I'm not done. I have my own pictures.

This is what UPS thinks of your packages.
