Medieval Times, a dinner-theater chain located in Buena Park, California, has been accused of illegally undermining union support at its castle. Last year, workers at the castle launched a union campaign to enhance their pay and working conditions and gathered signed union cards from members of the show cast, knights, and stablehands. However, a petition was later circulated, and it was discovered that some workers who had previously signed the union cards asked to retract them. The National Labor Relations Board has filed a complaint against Medieval Times’ director of training and development for allegedly playing a direct role in torpedoing the union campaign. While workers can request to revoke their union authorization cards if they have a change of heart, it is unlawful for management to participate in any such effort, as it can be perceived as coercive. If Medieval Times declines to settle the case, it would proceed to a trial. Meanwhile, the union, the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA), had filed a charge with the NLRB due to Medieval Times’ illegal petition campaign. The AGVA ultimately won the election by a tally of 27 to 18, rendering the alleged illegal petition campaign moot. However, the union seeks acknowledgement from the company for breaking the law and posting a notice about workers’ rights in the Buena Park castle and reading it aloud to workers.
