Unionized cast members at Disneyland were seen distributing buttons with Mickey’s raised fist to guests just outside the entrance to the Disneyland Resort today, seeking support in a petition for fair wages.
What’s Happening:
- The Orange County Register reports that cast members from Disneyland’s largest union coalition were spotted today handing out Mickey Mouse raised fist buttons to visitors entering the Resort property.
- Cast members handed out the buttons at the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Disney Way while wearing their theme park costumes.
- These are the same buttons that some cast members were disciplined for wearing earlier this month.
- Because of this, the union that represents these over 500 cast members, Master Services Council, filed unfair labor practice charges.
- Cast Members may be asked to remove items that are not a part of the “Disney Look” and could be disciplined for repeated violations.
- The union coalition — which has been negotiating with Disney over a new contract since April — represents ride operators, store clerks, custodians, candy makers and other cast members.
- The last contract expired on Sunday, June 16th.
