From the thumbnail I thought it was gonna be this

VFX unionization has been suppressed for decades through a consistent level of FUD and a constant race to the bottom-style system that has been fully supported, encouraged and enforced by the big studio clients.

It would be nice if this marks some kind of sea change, but I wouldn’t hold my breath just yet.
