Remember while you are out of work the
responsible people for the lack of people coming to the attractions in Florida?
McDonald trump and his puppet Florida’s DeSantis!
The layoffs at Disney World will leave
8,800 part-time members of the Service Trades Council union without a job.
However the union’s position is that Disney isn’t to blame, instead they point
to how state and federal leaders handled the coronavirus. “Nobody wants to come
here. Everybody’s scared. They see those numbers and they say ‘hell no I’m not
going to a crowded park,'” Disney worker Tarek Hamdan said. The union deal kept
any full-time members from being forced into a layoff. They can keep their
position even though they’re not working and/or until business picks up and the
company needs them to return. Part-timers who are laid off would also hold onto
recall rights to their old jobs for two years. Union leaders say those are
rights workers at Disney have and won’t find at any other theme park, like
Universal and SeaWorld where workers aren’t unionized.
