Employees at Disneyland California, who perform as iconic characters like Mickey Mouse and Goofy, have initiated steps to unionize. A group known as Magic United, comprising approximately 1,700 cast members from the Characters and Parades departments, has filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) seeking formal recognition for their union. The move, supported by the Actors' Equity Association, aims to address issues related to working conditions, wages, benefits, and scheduling. The filing follows a collection of signatures from over two-thirds of the eligible staff, indicating strong support for unionization among the workers. A vote on the unionization is expected this summer.
