Disneyland employees protest low wages and alleged anti-union actions, strike vote imminent.
Disney employees rally outside the main entrance of Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, on July 17, 2024, ahead of a planned strike authorization vote.
Featuring workers in costumes from the parks’ “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars” themed rides, among others, the rally was organized by unions representing some 14,000 Disneyland employees, from rollercoaster operators to candy makers. The talks have so far yielded nothing, and unions accuse the so-called “Happiest Place in the World” of intimidating employees.
“Last week, I saw a manager telling one of the cast members to remove her badge. He told her that it will be on her record card,” said Cristales.The allegations have prompted an investigation by the National Labor Relations Board.Employees will vote on whether to authorize a strike this Friday. If the action is approved, unions will then decide on its terms and duration.
