10/14 WDW Employees to Vote on New Union Contract

[jcb]

This Thursday, 10/14/10, is the date set for voting on the new union contract for WDW bargaining unit (union) employees. http://servicetradescouncil.org/stc2005/main/councilnews.html I found the voting locations interesting.

Jason Garcia has written two articles about the negotiations.

I wonder how many of WDW Cast Members are actually union members. If I recall correctly, Florida is a "right to work" state and therefore people do not have to belong to a union to work at the company. Right?

You are right about Florida law but I would be speculating at the number of employees who have dues withheld. I represent employers so I try not to ask those kind of questions.
