Disney Will Lay off 28,000 Employees as California Governor Refuses to Provide Reopening Guidelines
[RedState] The fallout from COVID closures continues unabated.
On Tuesday the Disney corporation announced they would be laying off 28,000 employees, about 67% of whom are part-time employees. Disney’s greatest financial struggle has been in their California theme parks. Nearly every other Disney property in the world has reopened (many with curbed attendance caps). California Governor Gavin Newsom retains one-man control over every aspect of life and work in the state and yet refuses to offer one of the largest and most influential job providers in California any guidelines they can be working toward in order to reopen.
Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, sent an email to Disney employees Tuesday afternoon explaining that with no hope for opening the Anaheim park in sight, some tough changes would have to be made.
