Some Lyft drivers at Disney World put brakes on union
Some Disney employees who also work as Lyft drivers have filed statements with the National Labor Relations Board claiming that they do not wish to seek representation from unions, and that they are “happy with their working conditions”. The local Teamsters union had requested almost 60 “Minnie Van” drivers to be included in their bargaining units, with a regional director of the labor board approving the request in May. Disney had appealed the decision, asking to delay any requirement to bargain over the drivers. The drivers against unionization are being represented by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, and had wanted to side with Disney in a current labor dispute over concerns that they would be forced into the Teamster pension plan, lose seniority and lose income.
