"Disneyland Character Workers Seek Union Election Approval"
TL;DR
Disneyland Resort's character and parade performers, represented by Magic United, have filed for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board to join the Actors' Equity Assn. The workers are seeking improved health and safety standards, fair schedules, job security, and higher wages. They also aim to address concerns about workplace injuries, discomfort, and the physical demands of their roles. The move reflects a broader trend of labor action in the entertainment and hospitality industries, and comes as Disney plans a major investment in its parks and resorts.
