A Union rep from Disney World Performers is challenging a policy they have in place that forbids the characters performers from saying what character they portray online and in print media.
They have always not been a fan of a character performer revealing what character they play in the parks. Disney is very big on not killing the magic. When you work there they make sure that it is very well known that under no circumstances are you to ruin the magic for any reason.
They have now put in writing that cast members are not to disclose online or in any kind of media, including social media, print publications or TV — what characters they play in the parks. Disney called it “proprietary information.”
The Union has filed a grievance with Disney’s labor relations department last week. They will also file an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board. They say this change was never negotiated.
This could interfere with what a cast member does on their day off and possibly what they could or could not include on a resume for a future job. This list goes on.
Fun fact: There are more than 1,200 costumed character cast members at Disney world. That includes fur characters and face characters.
What do you think?
