Disney doesn’t keep the union weak, Florida Law does. Florida has an anti-strike law, and several other clauses that kinda gut what a union can do to negotiate. The issue is that Disney knows that we will have to accept whatever they finally decide on because Florida law backs them and not the workers.

The bus union a few years ago decided to implement a call in protest about the lowball wage increase Disney offered them, Disney promptly 1) hired an outside company to run buses, 2) fired a bunch of drivers and disciplined a bunch more, 3) sent a letter to every cast member basically saying “don’t even try it, we will fire you”. State said that was fine, continue on. A lot of people won’t join the union because they know that Florida law makes the union basically just a negotiation entity with next to no power.
