Unionization was in full force throughout the entertainment industry in 2023, particularly over at Disney.

On late Saturday night, an election wrapped for Disneyland resort actors to be represented by the Actors’ Equity Association.
To further highlight what they’re fighting for, performers put out videos about their poor conditions, such as wearing uncomfortable costumes and inflexible work policies, earlier in the week. Per Equity president Kate Shindle, the first point of order for the workers group, known as Magic United, is to improve health and safety protocols, along with wages, bonuses, and working conditions. “These workers are on the front lines of the Guest experience,” she said.
