QuikQuote: Rank-and-file union members at Walt Disney World expanded by 20 percent -- to more than 30,000 workers -- earlier this month when part-timers voted to organize.
"Disney part-timers obviously want more money," said Ed Chambers, president of the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1625. His group is one of six unions under the umbrella of the Service Trades Council, which already represented about 25,000 full-time Disney employees.
