1. Recognizing the Need to Unionize: Disneyland characters and cast members may feel the need to unionize due to various reasons such as a perceived lack of fair wages, unsatisfactory working conditions, inadequate job security or health benefits, etc.
2. Deciding to Unionize: A majority of the workers would need to express their interest to join a union through signature collection or voting, usually conducted confidentially under the oversight of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
3. Selecting a Union: The workers must decide on a union organization with which they would like to affiliate. This could be an existing union, like the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), or they may decide to create a new one.
4. Union Elections: The next step is union elections conducted by the NLRB. If a majority votes in favor of the union, the NLRB will officially recognize the union as the workplace’s official bargaining representative.
5. Agreement Negotiation: The newly formed union will negotiate a contract with Disneyland, which will outline wages, hours, working conditions, and other important factors related to their employment.
6. Union Contract Ratification: The union members vote whether to accept or reject the negotiated contract. If accepted, the contract becomes legally binding for Disneyland
