Here, you will find the The Animation Guild Representation Card. Signing the card means you want the IATSE to represent you as your bargaining agent with Imageworks. Its called TAG’s because they’ve made some small and NLRB approved modifications to the card to better follow up with artists.
What is the representation card?
The Representation Card is a physical manifestation of your desire to have IATSE represent you as your bargaining agent with Imageworks. Signing and returning the card does not initiate membership with the union. It shows your interest in IATSE membership and representation. Once a majority of artists have returned signed representation cards, IATSE will move forward with getting Imageworks to begin contract negotiations.
Will Imageworks know if I’ve signed a card?
No. Once received, your signed card will be filed away not to be seen again unless called for by the NLRB.
Where do I get a card?
Stop by any of your co-workers desks that have a big stack of them sitting out.
