A Disneyland union leader is asking the Walt Disney Co. for an update as to what is happening with the Anaheim theme park so staff members know if they will continue to get paid and have medical insurance
The Disneyland letter, authored by Workers United Local 50 president Christoper Duarte, begins, "Our members, your cast members, are very concerned about their economic well-being after March 31. They are in a state of limbo and worried about their medical insurance, rent, food and other necessities."website
still states the park is closed through March 31. Earlier in the week, Universal Studios announced its Hollywood and Orlando parks would extend their closures until April 19. In his letter to labor relations vice president Robin Almand, Duarte noted that Universal Studios updated their reopen date and said their staff would continue to get paid until that time.
"Disney continues to remain silent, and, in fact, the posting of scheduled hours going only through March 31 has resulted in cast members' anxiety and uncertainty that Disney will not pay wages and medical benefits may be interrupted," Duarte wrote. The letter concludes asking that the company continue to pay park employees until at least April 19, again referencing Universal Studios.
