By Amy Taxin | The Associated Press
“Labor organizers announced the campaign Tuesday, saying performers want better safety conditions and scheduling policies to help them keep the magic alive for visitors.
“While most of the more than 35,000 workers at the Disneyland Resort in Southern California already have labor unions, about 1,700 performers in parades, character actors and support staff do not.”
…
“Union cards were circulated starting last week to promote forming a labor union under the Actors’ Equity Association, which traditionally represents actors and stage managers. The group already represents theatrical performers at Walt Disney Co.’s Florida theme parks, organizers told The Associated Press.”
…
“Those who want to form the union, which they are calling “Magic United,” are seeking to address safety issues in costuming, such as keeping items clean and using appropriate fabrics for high-intensity dancing. They also want more stable scheduling.”
