  • I Just Looked Back on the Pegboard from December 2018 to Refresh Myself on the Final Issue of What Was a Very Busy Year. This Y
    ANIMATION GUILD AND AFFILIATED ELECTRONIC AND GRAPHIC ARTS Los Angeles, California, December 2019 Vol. 48, No13 I just looked back on The Pegboard from December 2018 to refresh myself on the fi nal issue of what was a very busy year. This year was a little less hectic: with our main contract (the Master Agreement) settled, we only had four smaller contracts to work out with the major studios, plus a lot of individual deals. We did, however, get a lot done besides our usual collective baragining. Highlights include taking the biggest delegation in our Local’s history to the District 2 Convention in Hono- lulu, Hawai’i, holding an election for Offi cers and E-Board and seeing member engagement and committee participation take off like a rocket. My original intention for this article was to write about the outgoing and incoming Executive Board members, changes at the Guild over the last few years and some events to look forward to in 2020. A lot of little things have happened this week, though, that have reminded me about something very important: a union is made up of working people stand- ing together to make things better for themselves and others. I decided to throw out that fi rst article and start fresh with a little insight into what kind of stuff happens behind the scenes here at the Animation Guild. We just had an election that saw many members getting involved for the fi rst time. Our former Business Rep, Jason MacLeod, decided that a single incredibly productive three-year term was enough for a mere mor- tal, so he is off to a new phase of his career and we welcomed our former MEMBERS MAKE IT HAPPEN (continued on page 3) IN THIS ISSUE Members Make It Happen .........................................
