One of those unions, Teamsters Local 385, representing costumed characters and bus drivers, filed an unfair labor practice complaint Friday against its fellow unions and Disney, alleging the deal was reached in "secret negotiations" that violated federal law.

Trades Council workers are set to vote on the contract Thursday. In their complaint, the Teamsters asked federal labor officials to delay the vote until a new agreement can be worked out in a legal negotiating session.

Thomas J. Pilacek, an attorney for the Teamsters, said the other unions violated Trades Council rules by not inviting a Teamsters representative and the head of Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 362 to the final negotiating session. The complaint, filed with the National Labor Relations Board, also accuses Disney of not bargaining in good faith by only dealing with four of the unions at the end.

"This was an outrageous backroom deal," Pilacek said.

The bottom line is the two unions that didn't have a say in the new contract dropped the lawsuit, because the bottom line is all union members will vote, and the only result that matters is once all the members vote, what the result is.

So here we are, three of the unions are saying vote yes, two are saying vote no, the vote will happen Thursday, and the results will determine what happens next.
