Of all the people to form a union, the animation industry is the one that needs it the most. Best of luck to them.

The stronger workers rights are, the better everything will start to get for everyone.

This should have happened so long ago! Finally! Animators deserve so much more respect, and the way all these corporations have been treating animators is going to far. They treat them like secondhand entertainment.

one hopes that they can... draw up... a favourable set of terms.

I didn't know that Cartoon Network Studios still exists. Didn't it get shut down?

I think that was a rumor, they never announced that they were shutting down but they're definitely struggling and have been laying off a lot of people.
