Digital Film Effects Artists Start Unionization Initiative

   Some picture industry workers call it sweatshop conditions sometimes.  Seven day work weeks, with 12-hour shifts is not uncommon for the 'electronic sweatshops'.  These artists that use computers to create digital images, are seeking health insurance and other benefits.  Visual effects artists are sometimes so poorly regarded, that their film credits are typically listed below the caterer.  See also, http://www.billboard.com/.
