This small article appeared today in my local newspaper. Thought I should share the news with all with fellow DIS'ers.
Goofy, Mickey can have clean undies
Orlando, Fla.- After almost two months at the negotiating table, the workers who play characters such as Mickey Mouse and Cinderella at Walt Disney World have won an important concession: clean undergarments.
Under a tentative contract between Disney and the Teamsters Union, the workers will be assigned individual undergarments which they can take home each night to clean themselves instead of relying on Disney launderers.
Some workers had complained about getting lice and scabies.
Each night, the characters turn in the undergarments with the rest of their costume. Then they pick up a different set the next day.
Well, I must say this is a refreshing look at the world of Characters. Never in a million years would I have imagined that the characters were not wearing their own undergarments.
Interesting what you can read in the papers.!
