The Animation Guild has been representing animation artists, writers, and technicians since 1952. As a union, they work towards ensuring decent wages and better working conditions for animation workers through collective bargaining. If you're wondering if you should join the Guild, they offer responses to frequently asked questions on their website.

The Animation Guild consists of artists, writers, and technicians who create animated films, TV shows, and content. Joining the Guild comes with many benefits, including wage minimums, paid overtime, high-quality healthcare, two pensions, and the collective power of over 6,000 animation workers to improve employment conditions. To become a member, you need to get hired by a Union employer, and the Guild will guide you through the membership initiation process.

If your employer is not part of the union, the Animation Guild can help you organize. The Guild also offers an optional 401(k) plan to help members save for retirement
