Disneyland Workers Feel Unsafe with Chaotic Downtown Disney Reopening

Disneyland lawful opened the flood gates to Downtown Disney — something many workers there are sad with at minimum … and deathly jumpy of at worst.

TMZ spoke to a pair diversified union honchos who’ve heaps of to thousands of members working for the Mouse Condo for the length of current instances — and so they suggested us their contaminated and file salvage no longer actually feel safe, and will no longer until some crucial demands are met.

Andrea Zinder — President of United Food and Industrial Workers Local 324 — says her union’s received about 250 solid members (Disney’s term for group) on the ground upright now in Downtown Disney, which lawful invited friends help closing week to slightly disastrous results — coronavirus-wise, anyway.

Austin Lynch, the Organizing Director of UNITE HERE Local 11 says the Downtown Disney reopening is a signal of how badly Disney’s working the label to this point.

Most of his 3,000 union members help meals within the park’s hotels and cafeterias, and he too wants guaranteed sorting out for them earlier than the theme park reopens … whenever that occurs.

A Disneyland legitimate tells us, “To this point, 20 union affiliates have signed agreements that encompass health and security measures equivalent to further sick pay, lowered park ability and face coverings for friends and solid members, allowing us to responsibly instruct help our solid as soon as that that it is in all probability you’ll deem.”

As for sorting out, Disney sent a letter to all of its unions closing month asserting “COVID-19 sorting out is no longer viable as a screening machine” and as a replace urged solid members to continue hand washing, the exercise of face coverings and distancing.

In that very same letter, even though, Disney bragged this trend allowed it to successfully reopen parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong. ICYMI … Hong Kong Disneyland is re-closing as a result of a surge of coronavirus circumstances.
