Hong Kong's Standard newspaper reports that a newly formed Hong Kong Disneyland staff union is airing grievances about staff treatment at the theme park.

The new union, which started recruiting members Tuesday, says that Disneyland management are not giving the union full recognition.

The staff said the Hong Kong management does not have the same level of industrial relations awareness and conflict resolution skills as their US counterparts.

Organized by the Confederation of Trade Unions following a series of complaints from workers, the union was officially approved Tuesday by the Hong Kong Labour Department.

Disney's human resources services director Greg Morley said management had held 12 meetings in the past two weeks for the staff to freely express their views and that the 5,000 cast members could share their experience through various channels.

Morley also said Disney worked closely with health experts and the Labour Department to ensure the staff enjoyed a safe working environment.
