Mickey and Pluto want the union at Disneyland - Last hour. A group of 1,700 employees has announced their intention to join Actors' Equity.
Those who want to join the organization are the artists who dress up as the various characters from Mickey's house. The group, which has chosen the name 'Magic United' and has a white Mickey Mouse glove clenched in a fist as its logo, is calling for salary increases, greater transparency in shift scheduling and hiring. After years of meetings, the unionization machine started yesterday, when the cards for joining Equity were distributed.
