Disneyland Cast Members Take Step Toward Joining Actors’ Equity; Union Files Election Petition
17.04.2024 - 18:39 / deadline.com
Disneyland cast members who work in the amusement park’s shows, parades and visitor meet-and-greets are a step closer to unionizing: Actors’ Equity Association has filed an election petition with the National Labor Relations Board for union recognition.
Equity will serve as the bargaining representative for Disneyland’s Parades and Characters departments. The employees and the union announced the NLRB filing today.
In a statement, Equity President Kate Shindle said, “The Cast Members who bring the Characters and Parades to life have been non-union since Disneyland Resort opened in the 1950s and have watched other workers in the park unionize all around them. Just eight weeks after Equity launched a campaign seeking union authorization cards, we have signatures from a supermajority of those eligible.”

“These performers,” she continued, “and the Hosts, Leads and Trainers who create magic alongside them, know that their lives – as well as the Guest experience at Disneyland – can be improved through collective bargaining. They deserve a voice in their workplace, and meaningful negotiations over wages, benefits and working conditions.”
Cast members calling themselves Magic United announced their intention to unionize on February 13 and since then volunteer organizers have collected signed union authorization cards from coworkers.
