Given the voice talent, maybe the key to this is to get the core artists accepted by the IATSE, or some kind of subunion.

That said, its really hard to imagine any union growth given 27 states in the US have right to work laws (aka right-to-get-laid-off laws). Meaning companies will be free to have layoffs like this independent of union wishes to negotiate such actions.

Companies should be able to freely lay off people independent of what a Union wishes. The other members of the union should just show solidarity and threaten to quit/protest if a company does that.
