Teamsters at
@Disneyland have overwhelmingly voted by an overwhelming 99 percent to authorize a strike!
The decisive vote is a direct response to
@Disney executives’ refusal to negotiate in good faith and the company’s numerous unfair labor practices.
In California, 6,000 of the over 13,000 cast members at Disney are Teamsters. These workers, including attraction hosts, resort parking and transportation staff, and animal care workers, are fighting for higher wages, better benefits, fair attendance policies, seniority rights, safer working conditions, and greater respect on the job.
“We are fed up with being pushed around by Disney and are ready to fight back against its unfair labor practices,” said David Hernandez, a monorail operator and Local 495 shop steward. “Disney believes it can bully us into accepting a subpar contract by violating our rights, but they are wrong. We are united, strong, and prepared to strike to secure the fair contract we deserve.”
