Workers at the Austin-based Powerhouse Animation Studios ('Castlevania') have requested voluntary recognition for a union of artists and some production workers.
“Though it may not be the thing most people know the state for, Texas has a long history of working-class movements. The tough and talented workers at Powerhouse are adding to that legacy and breaking new ground today,” TAG executive board member Brandon Jarrett said in a statement.Workers involved in the effort — including directors, background designers, animators and production assistants — say they are seeking more wage equality and job security with a union contract.
Added production manager Ryan Arrington, “Together we can push for better contracts that support a healthy work/life balance, career training and growth, fair pay and wages, and better job security for our staff.”
