WDW Still Struggling with Safety and Unions

[asianway]

Actually I know a WDW ENT Tech, who got called back and is going to work custodial.
Apparently at the same pay rate as the tech pay was.

So some are NOT above it.. (but yea, a LOT of others would say no way in hell)

They had to request that, right?

Those who say no way may have second thoughts since the FL eviction ban ends August 1, $600 stimulus checks end in July and homelessness doesn't sound like fun.

Many online fans are perfectly fine paying gouged prices for admission to parks with no night parades, only one day parade, less impressive castle shows, less impressive fireworks (but ooooo, projections just like I get every year at the light festival in my city), etc.

Logic doesn’t matter.

Meanwhile, others of us don’t always agree on taste, but we do agree that we don’t like paying for less than the resort offered in 1998.

Bingo...winner.

We’re along way from the endgame on that one. The political situation - commenting on it seems existence and not a personal stance - is one of the more fascinating ones you’ll ever find...ever. This is kinda a “snapshot in time”...if you care about these types of things...

You have brought this up several times... are you at risk of homelessness yourself?

Never been so glad to not be a landlord or a note holder...

Good for him/her. I’m not surprised Because they work hard behind the scenes without much fanfare.

Some that I know who are in sensitive situations.

There won't be some property taxes the county won't be collecting. In those cases, at times social services are cut or streamlined with county employees having the risk of being laid off.

Which cm’s don’t work hard and get a lot of fanfare? (Other than those in offices....)

Just got an email from my union (AEA) and they are really wanting to put a lot of public pressure on the Disney company to allow performers to wear masks while they perform. Should be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Apple Dumpling Gang show?

Are they cast members? Are they equity actors?

I'm here for it and I will be contacting the union immediately.

Yes, CMs.

Boy, that propaganda that they put out on Twitter is REALLY screwed up. I love Disney dearly, but this re-opening is a massive mistake.

Why is it a mistake?

Yes. The variety of cast in temporary deployments is quite interesting

Since the international cast and CPs are not coming back, then non Asian cast being deployed in China and Japan in Epcot would be interesting.

As well as non Canadians in Canada,
Non Europeans in Germany, France, and Italy.
Non British in England,
Non Mexicans in Mexico,
Non Norwegians in Norway,
Non Moroccans in Morocco.

Better get crash courses in basic language of the country deployed at. Just don't replace the belly dancer at Morocco!

I’d wager those are the smart ones
