Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I this may possibly be one of the weirdest Disneyland related things I've ever seen.

I seem to recall that Disney wanted to switch healthcare plans, not eliminate health coverage altogether. I also remember that there was talk that Unite Here Local 11 has refused to sit at the table and negotiate with Disney. My question is if Disney is so horrible how is it that the other unions representing workers at the resort aren't speaking out against Disney's actions? I get the impression that Roseanne is either uninformed or deliberately oblivious to what's really going on with the hotel union.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I managed to get through half of it before giving up. Not only is their whole campaign poorly run and confusing, but this video in particular is really poorly done. The concept isn't very good to begin with, but it wasn't clearly explained (was he supposed to be Mickey? or a union supporter? or a Disney supporter? it took too long to figure that out). It just seemed to ramble along with claims that are just grabbing at straws for attention, much like the entire campaign. How long has it been since their contract expired? Wasn't it in early 2008? You'd think that at some point these union members might start demanding that the union actually do something productive for them. There were discussions going on long before the expiration (I remember hearing rumblings for 12-18 months), so it's been a long time since they've done much. Yes, there's something to be said for sticking to your guns, but there's also something to be said for actually getting work done.

Originally Posted By TP2000 I had to stop at the 2 minute mark, I'd seen all I needed to. Yet another Hollywood "celebrity" who thinks they are the supreme authority on everything that they don't really know about. Poor Roseanne, she's gotten to that nearly-dotty stage in an aging actresses life where she probably really believes the approved leftist talking points and buzzwords she is saying. Also, the tank top isn't working for her.

What the hell was that? There were words and images and none of it made any sense whatsoever. I haven't been this confused since watching the last third of Inception.
