INFORMATION:

Link to Contracts - https://animationguild.org/contracts-...
Most studios are signed to the "Master Collective Bargaining Agreement" but in a few cases, studios have separate agreements. The "Collective Bargaining Agreements" mostly mirror the master but might have some studio-specific difference. If you have questions, please ask here and if you're currently working at a studio ask your Shop Steward!

Joining TAG when you get a Union Job:
THE INITIATION FEE
This is a one-time fee that is charged when you first join the Guild. The fee is two weeks’ minimum scale wage in the job category in which you’re first hired (that is, not your actual rate of pay). This fee is included in your balance when you are set up as a new member.

The Guild frequently waives initiation fees when a contract is signed after an organizing campaign was used to reach the agreement.

To estimate your initiation fee, check out the minimum scale wage of your job category, or contact the Guild office.

THE IATSE REGISTRATION FEE
Our parent union, the IATSE, charges a one-time registration fee of $100. This fee is included in your balance when you are set up as a new member.

DUES
Dues are charged quarterly (once every three months) to all active members and are due on or before January 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10.
