Disney Workers Walk Out to Protest Company's Stance Toward Anti-Gay Bill

The Disney walkouts are the latest example of rank-and-file workers agitating over their employers' political stances.

Florida’s legislature approved the bill earlier this month, and Gov.

Ron DeSantis is expected to sign it into law.

Disney initially took no public stance, then later said it advocated against the legislation behind the scenes.

At 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m.

ET, organizers have slated a “social media storm” to coordinate posts of support.

Tens of thousands of employees welcome tens of millions of visitors every year.

The Walt Disney Company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
