Decrying a “lack of action,” a group of Walt Disney Co. employees is calling for a series of walkouts over the next week to protest the company’s response to a Florida bill that would restrict discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms.
Organizers are urging Disney workers to stage brief walkouts, starting today and over the next four work days, during scheduled break periods, culminating in a “full stage” walkout March 22, where employees will not work or attend meetings. The bill was approved by state lawmakers last week, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign it into law.
Disney Chief Executive Bob Chapek was criticized for his initial stance that Disney would stay out of the political fight. Last week, he changed course, saying he told DeSantis of his concerns about the bill, along with pledging $5 million for LGBTQ+ causes and suspending all of Disney’s political donations in Florida.
