THOUSANDS of Disney World workers will be out of a job and without pay as the coronavirus crisis forces its US parks to remain closed.
About 43,000 employees will be furloughed in a week, according to a statement from the Services Trades Council.
The Services Trades Council is the coalition of unions that represent Disney World workers.
Employees will be able to keep their medical, dental, and life insurance benefits for up to a year, the statement obtained by the Hollywood Reporter reads.
Seniority and wages will remain unchanged for workers whose furloughs begin April 19.
About 200 workers will remain on the job to perform “essential duties” during the shutdown, and they’ll be offered positions based on seniority, the union said.
