We hope to see you there!

This webinar is open to workers only. Management, press, & HR personnel are not permitted to attend.

This is your chance to ask questions, get clarity, & see how forming a union at Atomic puts us in control of our workplace & future, especially about the rise of AI tools.

A simple colourful poster that reads "Atomic Workers: Let's have a REAL TA about A.I. - April 15, 7 PM. Online RSVP:" Under the RSVP statement is a QR code. In the centre is a cartoon image of a red ball creature using a comically large mallet to squash down on another cartoon creature.

From your friends & coworkers at Atomic Cartoons Vancouver:

Curious how a union can help protect artists with introduction of AI/Gen AI tools at Atomic? Our guest speaker, IATSE Local 938 Senior Steward Emily Gossmann is a strong voice for workers & an expert on the impact of AI in animation/VFX.

Ubisoft workers are on strike: 'We are treated like children' The strike comes after the publisher revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs and ordered remote workers back into the office

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.

The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.

Working together and speaking up in unison is how we get things done!

Season's Greetings from CAG ❄️

The CAG office will be closed until January 5th, and all of us wish you a safe and cozy holiday and New Year! 🔴

A typed response with a background of different shades of red and titled "The Canadian Animation Guild" The main text reads: "In a time of record low film & animation work being greenlit worldwide, the Canadian Animation Guild - IATSE Local 938 is deeply concerned about Walt Disney’s decision to invest $1 billion USD into OpenAI, and feeding its generative models with hundreds of hours’ worth of artists’ labour. The financial reality, and the unpopularity of OpenAI among artists and the public makes it clear: there is no pot of gold to be found at the end of this investment hype cycle. The true path to sustainable economic growth in the entertainment industry remains today what it has always been: to invest in the human talent to create lasting stories that inspire future generations. It’s the skill and passion of thousands of regular people – not corporate executives or tech financiers – that have built the entertainment industry. It is them, and them alone, that will rebuild it. Our union will continue to organize for an animation industry whose workers are rightfully recognized as the indispensable engine of artistic creation. CAG 938 Executive Board"

With Trans rights under attack in Canada and abroad, it is so important to stand in solidarity with our Trans family and friends. Two ways you can make a difference today:

1 - Help Trans & Nonbinary Canadians in Alberta by signing the "Stop Danielle Smith" letter: www.stop-smith.ca

The text overlay reads "Trans Day of Rememberance, Nov. 20, 2025". The CAG 938 Pride Committee logo is in the bottom left corner, which is rendered in all of the colours of the Progress pride flag.

Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we take some time to think of our Trans siblings who have lost their lives to violence or suicide.

To those we have lost - We remember you. We miss you. We will fight for better in your name.

Text on a light blue background reads "The Titmouse Vancouver Bargaining Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the ratification vote this week. All digital ballots have been processed, and with a 62.2% voter turnout, we are happy to announce the final results: With 97.6% of votes in favour, the second Titmouse Vancouver Collective Agreement is RATIFIED! The wins in this renegotiation are a testament to the support, engagement, and energy of Titmouse Vancouver workers - and the power of building on the solid foundation of our first agreement. The Executive Board of CAG 938 would like to sincerely thank all of the workers at Titmouse Vancouver who volunteered their time in the Bargaining Committee, at the bargaining table, and showing up for our rally for Leads! We could not have had the strength at the table without the efforts of workers like you!"

The results are in!

Titmouse Vancouver workers voted overwhelmingly to ratify our second collective agreement!
