JOIN THE GUILD - West Coast - Story Analyst
The Industry Experience roster must be exhausted before a signatory company can hire a non-roster Story Analyst. Guild approval is necessary prior to beginning any union job. If approval is granted, after 30 working days you must join the Guild. You are then eligible for roster placement.
Making application for Industry Experience Roster placement is a separate and distinct process from applying for union membership. Additionally, making application for Industry Experience Roster placement does not automatically trigger union membership or vice-versa. It is your responsibility to initiate BOTH procedures.
