First formed in 2019 on the East Coast and united with West Coast colleagues in 2022, Post Production Guild is a collection of freelance Post Production Producers, Supervisors, Coordinators and Production Assistants working in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, and across the United States in all film and television platforms including but not limited to scripted, non-scripted, and animation mediums. Our aim is to protect the wellbeing and economic interests of our members, while ensuring the creative integrity of our workplace. Our numbers represent a workforce that produces and delivers content for some of the most esteemed and established entertainment production companies including Apple TV/Studios, Paramount Global, Disney Entertainment, Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures, Netflix, and Amazon Studios among others. 

The motion picture and television industry is heavily unionized, with many of these organizations established over 75 years ago. It is time to recognize the contributions of Post Production professionals and workers within the motion picture industry, and provide our workforce with the same basic protections, standards, and benefits enjoyed by our union film and TV colleagues.

WE HAVE NEWS!

The Motion Picture Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700) and the Post Production Guild (PPG) are partnering to pursue coverage for post-production office positions under Editors Guild contracts.

 

The partnership between the Editors Guild and the Post Production Guild seeks to advance PPG’s years of work building community amongst post-production office workers. PPG endeavors to address key issues for administrative, support, and other historically non-union post-production employees striving for more rewarding and sustainable careers. The shared goal of the Editors Guild and PPG is for workers in all post-production roles to enjoy the same union representation that Editors Guild members working as artists, technicians, and craftspeople in post-production have long enjoyed.

 

“We believe we are strongest when everyone involved in the post-production process has a voice on the job. The Editors Guild is impressed with the Post Production Guild’s efforts so far to build grassroots support for union organizing in the community of professionals in post-production office roles, and we look forward to working with them in a successful partnership,” said Alan Heim, ACE, President of the Editors Guild.

 

The Post Production Guild, first formed in 2019, is a coalition of professionals working in post-production workplaces nationwide, allied to foster community, share resources and improve their working conditions. The Motion Picture Editors Guild, formed in 1937, is a union of more than nine thousand artists, technicians, and craftspeople working in post-production throughout the United States. The Editors Guild is the world’s preeminent union of post-production professionals and is an affiliate of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Technicians (IATSE).

WHO WE ARE

WHO WE ARE

As post production workers, we establish and oversee the post production process from workflows to dailies to cuts, to final delivery. We ensure the creative and technical integrity of each project we put on the screen. We serve as the point of contact for everything Post. We are the first ones in and the last ones out. We get the 3AM phone calls. We make sure everything runs on time. We are engineers and therapists and stand-up comedians all rolled into one. We think in science and stories and spreadsheets. We are cheerleaders and the wranglers of our departments. We wear more hats than most people own.

 

We make sure the magic happens.

WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR

WHAT WE'RE
FIGHTING FOR

  • A HUMANISTIC WORK CULTURE - We want a regulated 50-hour work week with minimum requirements for turnaround and adequate rest. No more uncompensated overtime hours. No more doubling up on duties without additional compensation and benefit contributions. 

  • STANDARDIZED JOB DESCRIPTION – We want clear parameters of what is required of our jobs. 

  • MINIMUM STAFFING REQUIREMENTS - We want sufficient support based on our projects’ needs. No more three-person post teams on large-scale projects. No more two-person teams or less for smaller productions. 

  • A HEALTH INSURANCE & PENSION PLAN – We want a health insurance and pension plan that is union-protected, and expanded to Coordinators and PAs. We want equal benefits with our union colleagues. 

  • SCALE WAGES– We want rates that are on par with the rest of our industry peers, that reflect our job responsibilities and take into consideration the increasingly high cost of living in cities where we are employed. We need basic minimums that go up yearly, reflect our experience, and keep up with inflation. All boats must rise with the tide.

  • PAID TIME OFF - Sick, Holiday, Vacation Pay & Parental Leave are all benefits our union colleagues already enjoy
