The cries for help from workers who play Mickey Mouse, Goofy and other Disney characters were answered Monday.
Associated PressMonths after workers who play Mickey Mouse and Goofy at Walt Disney World threatened to leave the Teamsters union because of what they called "horrible misrepresentation," General President James Hoffa has appointed two associates to take over the local union in Orlando, Fla., according to a letter from Hoffa posted Monday, June 24, to the doors of the Local 385 union hall.
Hoffa promised to send resources to help the local union right itself, writing “it is regrettable that circumstances have reached this point.”Ralph Singer, a Disney World truck driver, said union members were “ecstatic” about the trusteeship. Teamsters spokeswoman Kara Deniz said an election will be held within 18 months so members can choose new leaders.
Among the complaints was that Local 385 leaders made a deal with Disney World officials to cut out 20 or so workers from being covered by the union. Union members also said Local 385 leaders had been unresponsive to grievances by members seeking help against the companies they worked for.
