SeaWorld Forced to Recognize Divers' Union | Orlando News

SeaWorld just got a major legal smackdown: the NLRB ruled they violated labor law by refusing to recognize the union voted in by Discovery Cove’s maintenance divers. These workers, who keep animal habitats safe through grueling night shifts, demanded fair pay — and SeaWorld stalled, ignoring their vote and bargaining rights. The ruling forces SeaWorld to acknowledge the union, negotiate in good faith, and post a public notice reminding all employees of their legal right to organize — for at least 60 days. This isn’t new for SeaWorld: similar complaints from security guards and allegations of retaliation for unionizing have surfaced before. The union isn’t backing down — they’re pushing for workers’ voices to finally be heard and respected. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
