Disneyland Character Performers Unionize for Better Wages and Working Conditions

Over 1,700 cast members vote to join Actors' Equity Association, seeking improved safety measures and job security.

79% of Disneyland character performers voted in favor of unionizing.
The newly formed union will negotiate for higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions.
Actors' Equity Association already represents Disney World performers and Broadway casts.
Unionization aims to address issues like low pay, demanding hours, and inadequate safety measures.
Disney has one week to challenge the vote before results are certified by the National Labor Relations Board.
