The Walt Disney Company has been having a rough go of it lately — from the executive level all the way to Cast Members in the parks, employees have been affected by job cuts.
Not only that, but Disney World Union Cast Members had been protesting for quite a while over wages, benefits, and more. And now, it looks like Disney Cast Members are standing up against the mouse yet again — this time, internationally.
According to The Independent, Cast Members at Disneyland Paris went on strike and staged a walkout down Main Street, U.S.A. on May 24th. The protest also included a rally in the Town Square part of the park.
Several shows and performances were canceled during the walkout, just before the Cast Members exited the park.
The workers are part of the UNSA — the Union Nationale des Syndicats Autonomes in French, or the National Union of Autonomous Trade Unions in English — and are demanding better working conditions and wages.
There have been ongoing protests and demonstrations in Paris and much of France after unpopular reforms resulted in the state pension age being raised.
As of now, it looks like Disney has yet to release a statement on the walkout or any potential for ongoing protests or negotiations with the union, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!
