Company could endure biggest US strike of 2024 as unions accuse it of intimidation during contract negotiations

Disney could face the largest strike in the US this year after it was announced that thousands of theme park and hotel workers in California will vote on whether to stage a walkout.

Three trade unions representing 14,000 “cast members” at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the Disney hotels announced an unfair labor practice strike vote would be held next week amid negotiations over a new union contract.

In a critical statement, union leaders accused Disney of “unlawful discipline and intimidation and surveillance” of union members. The entertainment giant did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I’m all for them striking, but I expect people visiting the parks will not take it well.

They will understandably be upset that their vacation got ruined, but I fear they will direct their anger towards the striking cast members.
