VFX is also the one hollywood industry that is notorious for massive exploitation of the VFX artist. And also the only non unionized part.

Its tech based. And people in tech are unfortunately somewhat union agnostic or lean anti-union. The pay is so good on an individual/self basis they are happy without looking at the bigger picture of their contributions to the content.

There was also a huge illegal wage fixing scheme (and later settlement) between George Lucas, Steve Jobs, and other big tech industry moguls to kill any kind of VFX or Tech union. Super illegal.
