Tagging these users because they said that the strike threat would fail and Disney would just fire all the workers.

Disney makes like a third of their revenue from their parks and it's like the only thing they've got that's still going strong with both their streaming service and their films being pretty big flops. Having to rehire and retrain 14k workers would have been so time intensive it would have been incredibly time intensive and would have probably forced them to close down the park for a really long time, not to mention losing thousands upon thousands in reservations, etc. Firing them was rally never an option at all.

100%. One, Disney takes longer to train staff than most places do in the first place, and that’s just for the generic CSR type jobs. Disneyland makes 10s of millions of dollars per day. A strike of even a few days would be devastating, and firing everyone would likely mean weeks to retrain.

I mean, not to be doomer but they could just be doing this for good PR and then just lay everyone off 3-6th months from now.

[-] Antiwork@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I mean regardless they have a contract now right? Even new workers will get these raises

Read other replies to learn why firing thousands of workers off rip isn’t a viable strategy for Disney
