I liked the overall idea of the program, its just how exploitative they ended up making it, and in the end, was seemed like it was just another way to weaken the unions. Some of the best friends I ever made working there were CPs.

Disney has gotten really, really good at keeping the union weak. I'm not blaming the union, but a weak union is helping Disney keep the ball in their court.

CP was more than just music. CPs were 'embedded' in pretty much every department at the parks.

96% of around 14,000 that bothered to vote. The union has 32,000 members. And that's out of a workforce of 75,000. There's a reason Disney is lowballing them.

All of the other cast members and the CPs who basically rely on Disney for housing and transportation.

The unions at Disney are painfully weak. The union workers don't make up even half the cast members and Disney employs what's known as the 'College Program'. People who are housed in Disney owned apartments, rely on Disney for transportation, are paid below normal compensation and who are forbidden from being in the union.

From the article:

>More than 14,000 votes were cast and 96% voted no.

Out of:

>Currently, the park has 75,000 cast members

One of the places I worked there had a whopping 3 members (myself included) in the entire department. I'm pretty sure life would continue on without us in the event of a strike.
