Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
You are being unnecessarily pessimistic. Which is not helpful and also a massive buzzkill. Honestly what you said sounds identical to what a reactionary would say.
You have to consider that it would take an incredible amount of time and money to train 14000 replacement employees, making it unlikely to happen. Even if Disney manages to hire scab workers, the quality of the park will fall and Disney will lose business.
You're right, I can't imagine Disney doing something like lowering their quality in order to make more money, they are artists and they would never compromise their art for short term profits!
If I wanted to hear people say that organized labor action is ineffective and doomed to fail, then I would go talk to chuds because that is what chuds say.
It's not doomed to fail, this is really cool and good! Being aware of difficulties this action will face and the character of their enemy is necessary. If you're doing real labor actions you have to pay attention to reality, eyes wide open and clear headed
There aren't 14,000 people in Disney's immediate area that they could scab these people with. Additionally, the bad press about "the happiest place on earth" would not be becoming for Disney.
They're just going to put all the kids on the It's a Small World ride to work.
I thought championing genocide wouldn't be becoming for democrats and people would turn on biden but it turns out I was wrong, Perhaps I am just being pessimistic but thats for good reason
Yeah, jeez. I love hexbear but some optimism and hope won’t hurt anyone.
Exactly!
What are you talking about. Disney is one of the most anti labor and litigious companies on the planet and our current supreme court is one of the most labor unfriendly in history. If you think Disney won't try literally every single thing they can to stop this I don't know what to tell you. Full support to the workers here I hope they win but it's not pessimistic to acknowledge they have a hell of a fight on their hands in a country that will do everything it can to stop them
