Disney’ cost-sharing proposal is now having problem with labor dispute and resulted protest at D23 Expo in Anaheim last week.
And one of the workers, Jean Bustamante who is ranging on healthcare dispute is really very personal to her.
She has a 8-year old son with cerebral palsy and currently on a wheelchair. His son’s medication cost her $1,000 per month without having insurance.
As a single mother of 2 kids and working as a waitress at the Steakhouse 55 restaurant in Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, her job was her only source of income and the only way carry out medical expenses for her son. “But if the insurance is removed, then everything will go too”.
And as protest she joined noise protest at the Anaheim Convention Center last week which is also the first day of Disney’s D23 Expo. They created a nasty labor dispute and their main focus was on health benefits.
As to voice out their demands, they dressed as Mickey Mouse, Snow White and other Disney character that has staged a mass “sick in” which is at the same time Bob Iger Disney Executive speak at the convention center.
The protest is analytical on how quick healthcare costs have encouraged issues to the labor-management relations. Employees say that with low salary job is practically free healthcare under the Local 11 agreement.
Disney is finding ways on moving workers into a Signature plan, which is 75% of all premiums will be paid by the company and the rest will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.
