On September 29, local time, Disney announced that it would lay off 28,000 employees in theme parks in the United States, accounting for 25% of the total park employees.

Disneyland said, "Although it makes people sad, because the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to cause severe damage to the business," Disney has no choice but to lay off employees.

67% of the layoffs are hourly workers, and some executives and full-time employees are also on the list of layoffs.

Since California Governor Newsom refused to reopen Disneyland in California, about 31,000 people have been given unpaid leave. Although Disney Florida Park has reopened, the number of people entering the park is not as expected.

According to reports, Disney has begun negotiations with the union. However, about 20,000 employees have not joined the union, and another 20,000 non-union employees have been on unpaid leave since April.
