It?s a Small World: Disney and the H1N1 Virus

By Tula Connell

ADVERTISEMENTS

For workers at Disney in Anaheim, Calif., getting sick?even with the H1N1 (swine flu) virus?means an awful choice: Stay home and risk being disciplined or go to work and spreading the illness to co-workers and the public.

Millions of hospitality industry workers in this country have no paid sick leave?like the more than 1,500 workers at Disney?and worse, actually could lose their jobs for staying home to get well. UNITEHERE! Local 11, which represents the workers at Disney, created this video, “It’s a Small World: Disney and the H1N1 Virus,” that clearly shows how Disney’s policy endangers workers and the public.

If you have information about cases of H1N1 among visitors or workers at Disney hotels or parks, send an e-mail with the story to disneyh1n1@gmail.com. And check out our resources on H1N1 here.
