Seems like they could've kept on protesting without breaking the law. It's horrible that their being treated like that by Disney. The cops were doing their job though.

“The other hotels around the area all have health care that is provided by the boss and have been able to get wage increases,” said Ava Briceno, president of Unite Here Local 681, which represents the workers.

“At the other hotels in the same classification, for the same work, the workers get paid $2 to $3 an hour more.”

Umm Oh never mind this is too easy.

Is it possible that Sleepy, Dopey, and grumpy were not being paid the same as the other workers????

I am a member of Unite Here at my job. I can tell you that the local at my work stinks. This union is not worth the money I pay each week. Soon as my anniversary rolls around I'm getting out.
