Begging for parody

After reading the Best Page in the Universe all day, now I see (via CSR-Asia.com) that workers at Disney Hong Kong are going to unionize. Over what?
"The main complaint of the staff is not low salary or staff benefits," he said. "It is more about Disney not respecting them."
How so?
  • According to Lee, the staff are not allowed to use their cellphones inside the theme park, even during breaks.

  • Female workers must wear a skirt and tights, whereas trousers are allowed in the US parks, he said.

  • Also, staff complain they are prohibited from drinking water outside of breaks and the intervals between breaks and meals are too long.

  • Employees have also complained that they are barred from dying their hair, growing it long or sporting a beard, Lee said.

    "I have to wait for four hours to drink water. We cannot even sip any water while working because Disney said we cannot let the guests see bottles of water. But is this more important than our health?" a Disney worker interviewed on Commercial Radio said.

  • Staff also say there is an inadequate number of staff washrooms

I am showing great restraint, am I not?
