Cinderella, Snow White, Tinkerbell and other fictional fixtures of modern-day childhood were handcuffed, & loaded
into police vans recently at the culmination of a labor protest
that brought a touch of reality to the Happiest Place on Earth.
The arrest of 32 of the protesters, came at the end of an hour-
long march to Disneyland's gates from one of three Disney-
owned hotels at the center of a labor dispute about health
care. Disney is trying to take away health insurance for
2,300 maids, bell hops, cooks and dishwashers at their
three Disneyland hotels.
