In response to repeated violations of federal labor law by Medieval Times, we have walked out ahead of our second performance of the day. We will not return to work until we reach an agreement with the company on how they will address these unfair labor practices.

Medieval Times has tried to silence our voices on social media. They have tried to silence the voices of our guests and fans who show support for our movement.
The company has left us no choice but to speak even louder.

In the wake of a robust vote to unionize at the Lyndhurst, New Jersey Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament Castle just a week ago, the knights, show cast, and stable hands at the Buena Park, California venue have thrown down the gauntlet to do the same!

Throughout our organizing campaign, we had to deal with months of near-constant union busting from Medieval Times. Most egregiously, the company orchestrated an attempt to cancel our election entirely through deception, manipulation, and illegal means.

On 11/17/23 — after 9 long months — the striking members of
@MTUnitedCA
(AGVA) made an unconditional offer to return to work @ the Buena Park castle. Our sincerest thanks are with the countless guests, union members & community allies who lent their support & solidarity.
The Medieval Times strike is over. It lasted 9 months. Workers return to the Buena Park CA castle tomorrow.
The company denied reinstatement to 3 workers, including a knight/union activist who alleged horse abuse. The union calls it "blatant" retaliation.

Last week, we met at the bargaining table with Medieval Times to negotiate for our yearly raises. As this is an annual event and we do not yet have a contract, Medieval Times was required by law to give us the opportunity to bargain for our raises.

We are deeply troubled by the video released by Jake Bowman yesterday. However, we are sadly not surprised.
The behavior towards our horses exhibited in this video has been the subject of numerous complaints (just from the Buena Park castle) lodged with management.

If we’ve been quiet over here, it’s because we’re back at work and dealing with much of the same anti-union sentiment Medieval Times has thrown at us since day one. 😤

The fact is, employers violate federal law in over 40% of union campaigns. Why? Because they get away with it. As a union we must hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Applying public pressure is a legal, tested, and effective method of getting employers to bargain fairly. By getting our TikTok account banned Medieval Times has essentially cut off our access to one or our most important resources: our public support.

Medieval Times is suing

On 10/13/2022, Medieval Times filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Medieval Times Performers United & AGVA. The company has attempted to do damage control by sending a prepared statement from their attorney clarifying that the company is suing the union, not employees.

On Thursday, January 25th, we shared a post from the Medieval Times Instagram account which included a caption about how talented their cast is. We asked our TikTok audience to comment on Instagram and tell Medieval Times to pay their cast a living wage if they’re “so talented”.

Today, October 19, 2023, marks 250 days that we have been on strike. While that is certainly not a milestone worth celebrating — as it underscores how unwilling

Hey

what’s disgusting? Union busting.
The labor board just brought a complaint against

They say MT’s training director steered a withdrawal petition at the Buena Park castle.
