"Disneyland Characters Unite: Cast Members and Performers Plan Unionization"

Disneyland cast members, including performers such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, are working to form a union called "Magic United" with the support of Actors' Equity Association. The unionization effort aims to address issues such as higher pay, workplace safety, and scheduling transparency. While most Disneyland workers are already unionized, this move specifically targets the approximately 1,700 performers and character actors who currently do not have union representation. The group plans to seek voluntary recognition from Disney Resort Entertainment if a majority of workers sign union cards.
