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.
