The Simpsons Weighs in on Comic-Con Moving to Anaheim

• Lets hope they release another movie

• This Disneyisunfaithful guy is an idiotic union hack spewing lies about the contract negotiations going on at Disneyland. The socialist union, Unite HERE, have held their members hostage without allowing them to vote on any contract that Disney has sent them for over 2 years now. Disney is offering pay increases for each year and no other cut in benefits or adjustments from full time to part time like this idiot claims. For one thing, there are only so many full time, part time and seasonal positions to fill in the 3 hotels regardless of what the union tries to negotiate. So, there are no cuts there for full time positions. The dispute is that HERE is the only union out of 31 unions at the Disneyland Resort that doesn't require their members to pay any part of their medical benefits. Disney provides some of the most generous medical benefits in the industry, but depending on what plan an employee choses will determine if there are any out-of-pocket expenses. HERE union takes Disney's money and "provides" medical benefits for free to their members. Yet, that union is broke and cannot provide a strike fund for their members. Sorry, but if the other 30 unions on property all play by the same rules, there is no reason why this last union cannot play by the same rules as well. Disney is trying to be fair. They should have fired all of these employees long ago and started over in hiring people who really want to work for competitive wages in the service industry and nice medical benefits and perks. Sadly, most of the members of that socialist union don't agree with the union tactics but have no recourse to do anything about it or are not smart enough to know they can vote the union out. So, there's the truth. Don't listen to this union hack spew his lies. Disney is not being unfaithful to its employees.

• Disneyland hotel workers contacted the Comic-Con International Board to tell them about the labor dispute in Anaheim. You may have heard that Disneyland hotel workers have been engaged in a bitter 2-year fight against Disney over increased health insurance payments and turning some full-time jobs into part-time positions without benefits. There is no end in sight to this dispute. If Comic-Con chooses to move to Anaheim, it could find itself caught in the middle of a bitter labor dispute that could jeopardize its success. Workers have been involved in the following actions: *7 day and 3 day water-only hunger strikes in February 2010. Disney hotel workers camped on the sidewalks in front of the Disneyland hotels and Disney�s Burbank offices. Daily actions involved elected officials, community leaders, and musicians, including Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. *Two work stoppages, in which dozens of workers walked off the job *Numerous picket lines and protests, happening as early as 6AM, some of which have shut down entrances to the park, closed streets, including one in which 32 people were arrested. www.disneyisunfaithful.org
