Disneyland California Characters Seek Unionization, Cite Unstable Work Hours

Performers at Disneyland Resort in Southern California, who portray characters like Mickey Mouse and Goofy, are moving to unionize with the Actors' Equity Association, following in the footsteps of their Florida counterparts who unionized over four decades ago. The California performers have expressed concerns over the lack of scheduled work hours despite being expected to be available at any time. This unionization effort is influenced by the broader entertainment industry dynamics in Hollywood.
