Adults with Age-Inapppropriate Disney Fixations, Rejoice: The Brand’s Flagship Resort in Orlando, Florida, Is Reopening Today. Despite a Massive Local Surge in Covid-19 Cases, Walt Disney World Will Begin What Cnn calls A “PHASED REOPENING,“ Beginning with Its Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom Attractions. EPCOT AND HOLYWOOD STUDIOS WILL FOLLOW LATE IN THE MONTH, ASSUMING THAT DISNEY DOES NOT ROTHINK ITS PLANS.
For Disney the Company, Disney World is a Crown Jewel, a Mawkish will to the power of a brand. But magic does not cast itelf. Someone has to wear the Mickey Costum, or cater the Beauty and the Beast-Themed wedding, or strap tired children into rides. That’s work, and the People who perform it are somewhat mess than enthusiastic about the revification of Disney World. Some Say the Company Could Place Ther Serious Medical Danger.
Actors’ Equity, The Union Representing Theatrical Workers in Disney’s Parks, Had Asked The Company to Regularly test its members for Covid-19. But disney didn’t comply. Instead, it decidated to go Ahead and Reopen with Equity Members, which deprives the Union’s Members of a Chance to Make Income. On Thursday, The Union Filed A Formal Grievance against The Company. “SINCE OUR PUBLIC REQUEST THAT DISNEY TEST IN THE PARK, THERE HAVE MORE THAN 114,000 New Coronavirus Cases in Florida,” Mary McColl, The Executive Director of the Actor’s Equity Association, Said in A Press Release. “Rather than aggree to testing of performers, disney has decoked to retaliate against workers Fighting for a safe workplace durying this pandemic.”
DISNEY DID SIGNING AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER UNIONS TO THSE THOSE WORKERS TO RETURN, The New York Times Previously reported, and the Company has distributed videos of the workers saying they have the Feel Safe Enough to get back on the job. “I Feel Safe Because Disney has gone above and beyond what they need to do,” one said. But Disney’s Fight with Actors’ Equity Follows Years of Worker Complaints Over Low Pay and Exploitative Conditions. Disney World Workers Face Regular Abuse from Tourists Who Make the Pilgrimage to the Land of the Mouse. In 2019, The Orlando Sentinel Reported, a French Tourist “Scratched an Employee, elbowed her in the stomach and then pushhed her” Winnie The Pooh Ride Ceassed to Function. Visitors have sexually assaulled workers. In one case reported by Sentinel, Disney gave a Venezuelan man three fastpasses for the animal kingdom after a Worker said he repeatedly groped her breast.
In 2018, Fom Disney World and Disneyland in Anaheim, California, protest Do Disney Shareholder Meeting Over Low Pay. Though Disney Decide to Raise Wages to $ 15 an Hour by 2021, ITS Park Workforce Still Struggles to Pay for Expensses, As Another Sentinel Report Laid Out Last Year. Soma Go Hungry; Others Sleep in Their Cars. Those Workers Stand to Undergo Harm Harm if Economic Circumstances Force Disney to Cut Back Its Workforce – But the Hard to Believe That The Company, which is Worth Over $ 100 Billion, is so precarious that it must reopen parks ason as posseible.
Workers in Anaheim Watch their Peers in Orlando with Concern. CASES IN CALIFORNIA ARE SPIKING TOO, and DISNEY’S PLANS FOR ITS ALAB PARK REMAIN SOMEWHAT UNCLEAR. Though the downtown disney distribution has begun a phased reopeningThe rest of the park is Still Closed for Now. The Coalition of Resort Labor Unions, WHICH COLLECTATIALLY REPRESENT AROUND 17,000 Disney Workers in California, recently organized a Protest by Car Caravan. Like Actors’ Equity, They Want Regular Testing, and Disney Hasn’t Aggreed to Their Demands Eather.
“I’m Okay with Disney Opening. I Just Want to be a Safe Return for US,” Said Ines Guzman, Who Workhed at the Disneyland Hotel for Five Years and Belongs to HERE LOCAL 11. Disinfect Those Rooms before we go in? Guzman Also World That Disney Wauld Rush Housekeepers to Turn Over Rooms, Which Might Not Give Enough Time to Clean and Disinfect the Space.
While Tourists Might Be Eager for their Disney Vacations, Guzman is worried about family. “At home I have children who depend on me,” she explained. “My mom is over the age of 60. I’m concecerned. Becausea wen people come out of the room, we don’t know, if they sneeze, if they have the Covid. We don’t know anythding. We’re touching personal stove, what they left. Infection ProBABLY ISN’t What Disney Wants Visitors to Contemplate When They Return to the Parks, Fat Wallets in Tow. It’s not the stuff of Fairy Tales. But neohere is working at disney.
