ORLANDO, Fla. — The union representing actresses who portray Mickey, Goofy too characters at Walt Disney iPhone 5 case World archived a complaint Friday with a countrywide labor board, challenging a policy which it says prevents the performers starting from revealing which animated figures which portray.
Teamsters Local 385 archived the charge with the National Intense labor Relations Board, alleging Disney iPhone case seemed to be to committing an unfair labor technique. A grievance was filed last monday with the company. The two-week-old drafted policy prevents actors from widely revealing in social media or non-renewable media which characters they take up, according to the union.
So far, none of the 2, 200 character actors at Walt Disney World have faced any disciplinary action, said Donna-Lynne Dalton, taping secretary for the Teamsters local.
"The performers are very concerned because you are unable to un-tell somebody something, " Dalton said. "They have family and friends which usually already know this and have pictures associated themselves in their performing roles. It certainly is out there. "
The confidentiality protection had been a subject of negotiations throughout past contract talks, but it not at all made it into a contract, union associates said.
"The company doesn't have the justification to control social media postings, " acknowledged Mike Stapleton, president of the Teamsters local. "Suddenly the company wants to fake there aren't people behind they and the Constitution doesn't extend path of the theme park. "
A Disney speaker didn't have an immediate comment but also promised to respond later in the trip.
Disney has always discouraged actresses from revealing who is behind its costume in order to preserve the fable peddled in its theme parks, on the has never before been a drafted policy, union officials said.
Dalton said performers may need to share who Disney character they've played to recieve acting jobs elsewhere, but they also follow the idea of keeping the "integrity" of the units they play. That means not listed in costume outside the theme amusement parks or revealing to children perhaps a performer who plays Minnie Mouse.
"I believe in character ethics and not destroying the magic, but these are unquestionably performers, " Dalton said. "A performer who plays Santa Claus and as well , wants work, he goes out around and says, 'I played The bearded man. '"
