Federal Panel Accuses Disneyland Resort of "Unfair Labor Practices"

[n2doc]

Disneyland Resort is engaged in "unfair labor practices" with its hotel workers, charges the National Labor Relations Board, which has scheduled an August hearing on the matter.

Disney, which has three hotels in Anaheim, recently renovated many rooms, adding new mattresses, more pillows and bigger sheets.

Unite Here union officials say the new luxuries for guests have created extra work for the 2,150 workers represented by Local 11--without the union's consent.

This has also led to more on-the-job injuries for its members, claims Unite Here, whose Local 11 has been working without a contract for two years., spurring walkouts, hunger strikes and serenading from Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello.
