Disneyland Resort Cast Members dedicate themselves to making the Parks a place where every Guest can create lifelong memories. Most of the Disneyland workforce is unionized, but not the Characters and Parades departments. These departments are so much more than just the performers portraying characters or dancing and cheering in the parade: the magic they create relies on a whole system of workers to train, facilitate, accompany and stage manage this work. Disneyland's magic looks seamless to the Guests because of the hard work of all these Cast Members.

For more than a year, Cast Members in these departments have been building support among their colleagues. Now, the Magic United team is ready to unionize with Actors' Equity Association to make Disneyland a fairer, safer place to work. Magic United has straightforward priorities: Cast Member safety, appropriate compensation, clear and respectful communication, fair scheduling and job security. Addressing these concerns will ensure that for Cast Members and Guests alike, Disneyland can remain the happiest place on earth.

Standing up and saying that you deserve better treatment at work is never easy. That's why we must stand with Magic United as they organize the Characters and Parades departments at Disneyland. Show your support and solidarity!
