Title: After Uproar, Disney Cancels Tech Worker Layoffs

The NY Times previously reported that Disney made laid-off workers train their foreign replacements. The Times now reports that Disney has reversed its decision to lay off the workers and canceled training of the replacements.

This follows public uproar, two investigations by the Department of Labor into outsourcing firms, complaints to the Justice Department, and calls for an investigation into the H-1B Visa program by Senator Bill Nelson.

One of the workers said, "We were told our jobs were continuing and we should consider it as if nothing had happened until further notice." A former Disney employee who was forced to take an early retirement shared his personal thoughts on the matter in a Google+ post.

You are so right. These Corporations just don't get it. We are done with losing jobs, giving privelege to foreigners and globalists. I will never again set foot on any Disney property, nor will I continue to purchase their goods for my grandbabies.

Well, you know how I love the follow-up story. Even more when it has a surprise ending.     : )

In other news, Disney announced that their ticket prices will double to pay for the higher salaried tech workers.

Isn't is a little early for your reflexive trolling?

Obviously, prices and profits are way up at Disney's parks with the existing staff and they are constantly at capacity. This is not a cost-cutting measure to save money and lower ticket prices (for which I would be a little more sympathetic). This is using foreign workers to displace your longtime workforce so you can rake in even more obscene prices in your parks.

I never said it was. It's obvious from my post that I thought Disney was doing this to avoid raising ticket prices.

Disney has a record of large and constant price increases in recent years, taking the market for all it is worth because they are constantly booked. A lot of their clientele are foreigners, not Americans. Yet, Disney never said they need more employees to interact with foreign visitors and most of those in the proposed layoff were not in positions directly interacting with the public.

Disney is following an Apple strategy. They most certainly will avoid ever being the lowest priced theme parks. They want to cater to the rich only and have prices that tend to discourage the Great Unwashed. You also find reports that Six Flags and other amusement parks have raised their prices sharply as well, just so they don't look mediocre by charging only half as much as Disney. And geography and the proximity of competing theme parks does have an effect on these ticket prices and availability.
