Disney Hotel Workers are fasting because they feel unsafe on the job. While the workers have been without the protection of a contract, workload and managerial pressure has increased and staffing levels have decreased. Workers have experienced heart attacks, strokes and serious muscloskeletal injuries at work.
Beginning February 9th, ten hotel workers and the son of a hotel worker will participate in a water-only fast to show Disney the gravity of this situation. The fast begins at the Grand California Hotel in Anaheim (next to Disneyland) and will culminate at the Disney Studios in Burbank.
Please Join LA Labor as we support the
fasting hotel workers in at the Disney Studios in
Burbank.
