The following job listing is for a company that is not signed to the Animation Guild contract. The work described is not under the Guild's jurisdiction.
The Animation Guild neither encourages nor discourages members from taking non-Guild work. Because this is not a "Guild shop," you will not receive Guild health, pension, 401(k) or other benefits, nor can the employer "split payroll" and pay Guild benefits to some employees and not others. The Guild is very limited in the degree to which we can help you with non-Guild employer disputes, but we can advise you as to your rights under state and Federal labor laws.
Contact Steve Hulett or Jeff Massie at (818) 766-7151 or mpsc839@mindspring.com if you have any questions.
