Giovanna Melendez, 38, fourth from left, who works as a Minnie Mouse costume character, speaks during a press conference, Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014 at Times Square in New York. Melendez joined the call by NYC Artists United for a Smile for fair treatment and a right to work as costumed characters. Melendez said, "We come here in all kinds of weather, we come here to work." The $50 to $70 dollars a day they say they make is less than minimum wage for shifts of up to 12 hours. (AP Photo/Vanessa A. Alvarez)
