100 Employees to Lose Jobs at Disney Resort
From Associated Press
Walt Disney Co.’s Walt Disney World is laying off about 100 carpenters and decorators, the company said.
The cutbacks represent less than 2.5% of the resort’s maintenance staff. Expected to benefit are hundreds of other workers who had their hours reduced in April from an average of 40 hours a week to an average of 35 hours.
The union representing about 4,000 plumbers, carpenters and electricians was approached by Disney for negotiations last week.
Walt Disney World is central Florida’s largest employer.
