I knew that guy in the picture with the glasses and his mouth wide open. Bellhop at the PPH.

On topic now, this sounds like the kind of thing Disney hoped you wouldn't notice when they rolled out the "Disney Difference" campaign a few years ago(see my comments in the "Theme Park Admissions Price Hike" thread).

I wonder, though, is this kind of thing the reason why DL and DCA Foods split off from the Anaheim/OC UNITE HERE local and formed their own local? I know the hotel CMs stayed with the old local, at least when I worked there.

I find this statement from a DLR spokesperson to be disturbing:
We have a history of strong relationships with our Unions -- and clearly we are disappointed that Unite HERE Local 681 has spent more time protesting -- to date 14 rallies -- than the 11 occasions they have spent at the negotiating table.
