Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Some 14,000 staff at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the Disney hotels Workers, represented by a quartet of trades unions, have agreed to new contracts.
The move avoids a strike at the Disney parks and hotels. The workers were represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) Local 83; SEIU-United Service Workers West (SEIU-USWW); Teamsters Local 495; and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 324.
