“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

They mention that it is “an old Disney scam”, are there other examples of this? I can’t think of any but I’m curious to know how those other examples played out.

Interesting. I looked up this show and it looks like it kept the same creator credits. I do wonder if there was some secret behind the scenes things going on, or if some other shenanigans happened (obviously if it’s supposed to be a secret, it’s hard to find.)

The Disney kids shows where the last season or 2 are in an entirely new location than the first ones. Suite life on deck is an example

I’m not being sarcastic, check out every single Disney series that runs longer than a few seasons. Every. Single. One.

Much like a CEO that gets fired by the shareholders if he misses and avenue for profit, I have no doubt that CEO would fire producers that didn’t do the same thing.

  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
