Its Time to FIGHT BACK!
TIME TO END THE MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN
Certain individuals have recently been encouraging support for Teamsters representation in the future. While everyone has the right to advocate for the representation they prefer, we believe that these individuals should not personally attack me, our committee members, our supporters and/or those that may or may not be giving guidance and/or supporting this campaign financially.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS
For those who believe the Teamsters are the solution and that disaffiliation alone will set us free, I encourage everyone to carefully consider the legal realities of our situation.
One of the biggest challenges right now is that many members do not fully understand the distinction between disaffiliation and decertification.
Even if we successfully disaffiliate from our current union, that does not automatically affect the collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The CBA is held in our current union's name, not IESA's. According to the attorneys we have consulted, disaffiliation is an internal union matter and does not change who legally controls the existing contract.
As a result, our current union could argue that because IESA is no longer affiliated with them, all dues should now go directly to the parent union while they continue to administer the CBA. Whether people agree with that position or not, it is a legal issue that cannot be ignored.
This is why many of us believe it is critical to file a decertification petition with the NLRB as soon as possible. An NLRB proceeding would allow these issues to be addressed openly and provide a legal process for challenging both the ratification process and the current CBA if necessary.
It is also important to recognize that the Teamsters cannot simply become the recognized bargaining representative while another union remains certified.
If anyone believes there is a different legal path forward, I respectfully ask that they explain it so all members can review and evaluate the information for themselves.
The reality is that any legal challenge will likely be expensive. We have been advised that pursuing these matters could cost tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The question members should ask is who is prepared to fund that fight.
Our attorneys have indicated they are willing to assist at no cost to members if an NLRB petition is filed.
Regardless of where anyone stands on these issues, I ask that we focus on the facts, the law, and the best interests of the membership rather than personal attacks. We all want what is best for our fellow workers, even if we disagree on the path forward.
This is where voices are heard. This is where the truth comes to light. Disneyland Security Officer members are speaking up—and we’re not backing down.
Call to Action: Stand up. Speak out. Demand accountability. It’s time to reveal the truth about how our International Union out of Roseville, Michigan has taken over our Disneyland Local, Our Voices & Money!...It's time to FIGHT Back!
It is important that our Disneyland security officer have accurate information about the options currently available and not misinformation in their effort to stop this Decertification from moving forward.
Based on guidance we have received from legal counsel, filing a decertification petition does not automatically leave us Disneyland security officers' employees without union representation. Rather, it begins a legal process through the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Our understanding is that the International Union will likely argue that a valid collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is in effect and that the agreement creates a contract bar that prevents the NLRB from processing a representation election at this time.
Our position is different. We, our attorneys, intend to argue that there is no valid contract bar because of concerns regarding the ratification process and whether the International complied with its own Constitution and Bylaws by not allowing us the right to vote electronically.
If the NLRB determines that there are disputed legal or factual issues, it will conduct further proceedings to decide whether a valid contract bar exists. If the NLRB ultimately determines that no contract bar applies, it will order a decertification election whereby IESA acting as an independent Union could, should and would intervene in this election now, turning a decertification election into a representation election (RC Election).
Should an election be authorized, Disneyland security officers would now have the opportunity to choose among available representation options, which may include:
-
IESA as an independent, unaffiliated union;
-
Continued representation by the International Union;
-
Teamsters;
-
United Federation LEOS-PBA; or
-
No union representation.
Our objective is straightforward: to restore IESA as an independent union, as it existed before the affiliation.
If the NLRB determines that a valid contract bar exists, then the decertification effort may not move forward. In that event, we would continue pursuing other available options, including a potential disaffiliation process beginning July 27.
We respectfully ask everyone to review the facts, ask questions, and make their own informed decision. Employees deserve accurate information about all available options and the potential outcomes of each strategy.
Regardless of individual viewpoints, we all share a common interest in ensuring that employees—not outside organizations—have the final say regarding their representation
There is an old proverb: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is an ancient proverb that means two opposing parties should work together to defeat a common adversary. (The International Union is our Enemy! So let's not fight each other; rather let us all UNITE by taking the time to sign our Decertification petition below)!"

Its Time to FIGHT BACK!
My name is Jesse Silva a Disneyland Security Officer like you. I along with several other Disneyland Security Officers are leading the charge to get rid of our present International Union out of Roseville, Michigan headed by David Hickey & Ryan Kelly. Below are the steps that need to be taken to do this.
-
We are looking to file a DECERTIFICATION petition with the NLRB by June 9, 2026.
-
In order to do this, we must sign up at least 500 Disneyland Security officers. (30%) OUT OF 1,600 OFFICERS.
-
Once we receive 30% of the signatures, we will then file an election with the NLRB. We are hoping to do this by June 9th. This is when the International Union & Dave Hickey & Ryan Kelly will be holding their International Convention at Disney World.
Moving forward once a NLRB Decertification petition is filed with the NLRB we will begin our next stepts to DISAFFILIATE with the International Union starting on July 27th.
PLEASE NOTE: At NO time will we be without a UNION, regardless of the DECERTIFICATION Petition and/or DISAFFILIATION. Also Disneyland MUST ADHERE to all Terms and Conditions of our present CBA its the LAW!....So don't be afraid to sign our Decertification Petition. See Below.

August 30, 2023
Today, the NLRB issued two full-Board decisions, Wendt Corporation and Tecnocap, LLC, (both decided on August 26, 2023), addressing the statutory duty of employers to bargain with unions before making changes in terms and conditions of work.
In Wendt, the Board overruled Raytheon Network Centric Systems (2017), which had given employers greater latitude to make unilateral changes affecting a unionized workforce during a contractual hiatus or during negotiations for a first contract. The Board explained that allowing employers to justify discretionary unilateral changes during such time periods as a “past practice” was both inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s decision in NLRB v. Katz, 369 U.S. 736 (1962) and undermined the pro-bargaining policies of the National Labor Relations Act. The Board in Wendt also reaffirmed the longstanding principle that an employer may never rely on an asserted past practice of making unilateral changes before employees were represented by a union (when the employer had no duty to bargain) to justify unilateral changes after the workers select a bargaining representative.
In Tecnocap, the Board overruled a different aspect of Raytheon that had not been addressed in Wendt. The Board held that an employer’s past practice of unilateral changes that was developed under a management-rights clause in a collective-bargaining agreement cannot authorize unilateral changes made after the agreement expires and while bargaining for a new agreement is under way. The Board explained that the Raytheon holding harmed the collective-bargaining process in two ways: It forced unions to bargain to regain terms of employment lost to post-expiration unilateral changes, and it discouraged unions from agreeing to management-rights clauses in the first place.
“Our decision today returns to a more faithful application of Supreme Court precedent. By protecting employees who have chosen a union representative from being subject to discretionary unilateral changes in their terms and conditions of employment without bargaining, the policy we announce today better promotes the collective-bargaining process that lies at the core of the National Labor Relations Act,” said Chairman Lauren McFerran.
Members Wilcox and Prouty joined Chairman McFerran in issuing the decisions. In Wendt, Member Kaplan concurred in finding that the employer acted unlawfully but but did not agree with the majority’s decision to reach the validity of Raytheon upon remand. In Tecnocap, Member Kaplan dissented.
Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employees from unfair labor practices and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year.
