Downtown Disney Lego Store workers tout a union campaign

The union campaign began in March when Gulino contacted organizers with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 324, which represents Disney theme park retail workers. An Anaheim Resort district minimum wage law also served as a catalyst.

The measure covers not only theme park workers, but also Downtown Disney retailers.
