Disney workers walk out over ‘don’t say gay’ bill as company sends mixed messages
The Guardian says even though only a small percentage of Walt Disney Co workers participated in a walkout Tuesday, organizers felt they had won a moral victory with the company issuing a statement denouncing the anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that sparked employee outrage.
Throughout the day, pockets of employees staged demonstrations at various sites across the US, including near Orlando’s Walt Disney World and Walt Disney Studios. According to a Disney official, there had been no interruptions in any operations as of midday Tuesday.
Disney employed 190,000 workers last October, with roughly three-quarters working in its theme parks division.
