Welcome to the Ted Production Organizing Page! A powerful majority of us have expressed our support to form our own production union, and in doing so, join more than 1,200 other animation production workers who’ve formed their unions with The Animation Guild (and if we’re post-production, The Motion Picture Editors Guild). Please continue to check here frequently for updates, resources, and announcements as we move forward through this process. 

Our right to organize our union is protected under federal law (National Labor Relations Act). We are protected from all of the following forms of retaliation against any employee who seeks to form a union, which could be considered an Unfair Labor Practice and deemed unlawful following an investigation by the National Labor Relations Board:

❌Threatens to close or relocate the facility.
❌Reduces pay, benefits, or working conditions.
❌Disciplines or discharges an employee.
❌Refuses to bargain with our Union in good faith. 

Where we are in the process.

As of October 3, 2025:

NBCUniversal has denied our request for voluntary recognition and we are proceeding with a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election. We have filed the necessary paperwork and have all received a notice about this from the company. 

Our petition for an election and that notice from the company are NOT a confirmation of the date of our election, as the NLRB is a federal agency impacted by the recent government shut down. Our day will come to make our voices heard, and we will continue to keep you updated on further developments! Feel free to contact the OC with any questions.
