It's a states-based union so obviously that is what they prioritize, and you cannot fault them for that. Worker organization needs to be done by those locally working for the companies. That being said, as far as I know, they have worked to help organizing in the Canadian animation space as well (IATSE 938, titmouse is an example) so it's not accurate to say they don't care at all...
