Workers at a Southern California Medieval Times have walked off the job and went on strike before their second performance of the day Saturday, the union confirmed.

About 25 of the 50 workers in their bargaining unit walked out at the Buena Park location, said Erin Zapcic, lead organizer of Medieval Times Performers United. “We’ll be out picketing basically every day for the foreseeable future until we can make some kind of meaningful progress with the company,” Zapcic said, who plays the Queen in the California shows. Medieval Times LLC has not responded to numerous requests for comment.

Zapcic said the company is pulling performers from other departments and non-unionized locations. The closest location to California is in Scottsdale, Arizona. The union has filed numerous unfair labor practice charges against the company both in California and New Jersey, including one on their TikTok account getting banned. In October, Medieval Times filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the union for using the company name, which is still ongoing.
