    The workers’ union said it had submitted an unconditional offer to return to work and that Medieval Times had accepted.

    Well that’s just the opposite of what the title says.

      The fight isn’t over because the castle retailated against 3 of the striking workers by refusing to bring them back on.

      I used to work at one of these places, also as a knight, and the conditions/pay/treatment were deplorable.

      I got fired for being unable to perform after being injured by one of our horses. Of course, I was young and more stupid at the time, not knowing my rights, and just moved on with my life. It was a fun 18 months though.
