ALTHOUGH for many Brits Disneyland is synonymous with the Paris and Florida Parks, the original park opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955. Disney now also has parks in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
According to marketing, Disneyland is the “happiest place on Earth” — however this hasn’t always been the case for those who work there.
Concerns about working conditions at Disneyland in California and Disneyworld in Florida are nothing new. In 1984 2,000 cast members (as Disney calls its employees) went on strike in protest against a two-year pay freeze, no health insurance for part-time workers and the threat of outsourcing.
