Medieval Times , Workers Looking to Form , the Company's First Union.
Huffpost reports that employees of Medieval Times
have launched a union campaign looking
to improve compensation and safety. .
According to workers, safety concerns are a big reason Medieval Times employees in Lydhurst, New Jersey are trying to form the chain's first union.
Huffpost reports that the workers have been working with the American Guild of Variety Artists, a union representing performers at theaters, theme parks and touring shows.
On July 15, knights, squires and stablehands
will vote on whether or not to unionize. .
The vote will be overseen by the
National Labor Relations Board.
According to Huffpost,
Medieval Times has opposed the formation
of a union by their employees.
If the union is successfully formed in
New Jersey, the campaign could spread to other
Medieval Times locations throughout the country.
Currently, the Texas-based chain
operates nine locations around the U.S.,
and another location in Toronto, Canada.
Workers claim that inadequate staffing
amid a tight labor market has contributed
to a number of safety concerns. .
