If they wore their costumes off lot for any other reason they'd get
canned.
Now, there *is* the possibility that they weren't wearing their work
costumes, and went and rented knock-offs at the local costume shoppe.
That would help their case some. But if they were their Disney
costumes, they need the book thrown at them.

Fires them? In a labor-friendly state like California, that'll
only earn 'em a visit from the AG's office, if not Jerry Brown himself
on something as potentially high-profile as this! They'd then have
to rehire the workers with all their issued demands, and then some!
Damages? Ummm, I must've missed something . . .

It's called fair use; and I don't think hotels, even company-owned
ones, count as park property . . .

Re-read the article: these are hotel workers (maids, bell hops,
cooks), their only "costumes" are their hotel uniforms . . .

Hotel labor disputes are becoming very common in SoCal, and the
hotels usually agree to employee terms in the end. This should be no
different . . .

Yeah, those meanie hotel workers! Why can't they just be
satisfied with whatever gruel DisneyCorp decides to let drip into
their mouths? Where do they get off picking on the Mother Company?
Don't they know they might hurt Robert Iger's feelings this way?
Don't they have any sense of decency?

They had our sympathy right up until the lame 90's "Disney character" jokes.
Some people just can't put the Michael Eisner days behind them. -_-

They aren't striking, and they're blocking access. They need to be
fired and prosecuted.
Blocking access? There weren't locking arms, or doing anything to
prevent patrons from entering the hotel; just standing there
protesting doesn't count.
I'm sensing a very anti-union sentiment here, something that became
outdated about a hundred years ago, as brutally commented on by Darrin
Bell in last week's Candorville!:

Oh, really? Then why does the article say: "Those who were arrested sat
in a circle on a busy intersection outside the park holding hands until
they were placed in plastic handcuffs and led to two police vans while
hundreds of hotel workers cheered and chanted."

The function of unions is to force other people to pay dues and to keep
them out of the good jobs. Maybe I'm "outdated" in having no admiration
for that sort of thing, but I've never been interested in fashionable
thinking.

It's a nice trick, asking people to "re-read the article" in the hope
that they won't read it but just take your word for it. But the article
says: "The arrest of the 32 protesters, many of whom wore costumes
representing famous Disney characters..."

Pathetic, all of you! God knows what your kind would've thought of the
suffragettes a century ago.

Exactly. Plus, you know, if they weren't in costumes, how did
'Cinderella' get arrested? Much less Peter Pan, Mickey, Tinkerbell,
etc.?
And a quick Google search shows them in costume:

Ok, I'll give that I missed that. It's called civil disobedience,
of course, and I'm yet to hear how this kept people from reaching the
park . . .

"Fashionable thinking," now there's an interesting way to look at
worker's rights! You wanna go back to the days where laborers were
chained to their jobs (sometimes literally) and unable to complain
about conditions, please feel free to move to China. Me? I'll be
joining the CTA (California Teacher's Association) when I become a
teacher, the biggest union in California, arguably the most powerful,
and I'll be damn *proud* to be a member!

Keep telling yourself that, reality speaks otherwise . . .
I'm guessing that working-class families are a large percentage of
Disney's customer base (because of their "wholesome" image, y'know?).
I don't think it's wise to tick off the people you want buying your
stuff. Eisner found that out the hard way.

At work, any semblance of reading comprehension and knowing there's
an entire division of Disney workers that wear uniforms to work would
lead one to understand that. No lying here, you just need to go back
to school . . .
