Disneyland Performers Push for Unionization

Over two-thirds of eligible Disneyland performers have signed a petition to form a union, citing concerns over pay, safety, and working conditions.

Disneyland performers in California, including those portraying iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, have initiated a unionization effort.
The group, calling themselves 'Magic United,' seeks to address issues such as low wages, safety hazards, and erratic scheduling.
More than 35,000 workers at Disneyland Resort are already unionized, but performers have remained non-union since the park's opening.
Actors’ Equity Association, which represents live performers nationwide, supports the Disneyland workers' unionization efforts.
Disney has expressed support for the performers' right to a confidential vote, expected to take place between May and June.
