Did you know that union membership is a pathway to healthcare? Our Freelancing Committee has been taking steps to make it a reality and it's one of their major goals. Until the US gets universal healthcare, you deserve coverage. Studios shouldn't be able to wiggle out of a system THEY helped create.

Lmao I remember a supervisor telling me this and then I did internal training on managing contractors and it said explicitly that contractors cost 2/3rds what a full time person was. It’s not complicated at all. Full time, unions, pensions, everything that’s been stolen from the working class.

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

I try to keep my job separate from my socials, but if you were impacted by the Epic layoffs feel free to reach out via LinkedIn. My focus is on recruiting interns for Activision + Blizzard studios, however I can try to help steer you to the right recruiter: www.linkedin.com/in/crystalmora

Sick of this crap? Us too. Hit us up. 💪 uvw-cwa.org

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

Voice Actors - Recently, several casting directors have expressed to me their frustration of actors who violate NDAs by sending auditions to friends or telling actors that a certain CD is casting a certain project. Please consider all auditions under NDA!
