1900 employees in the park divisions is nothing over the entire scope of eveyone that works for Disney in a park worldwide. They are getting rid of the 15 to 20 year permanents and will hire new employees for the summer to run the rides at a lower rate. They can hire teenagers on the cheap to work the rides. I worked at Disneyland for 9 years driving floats and we were the only non-union employees in that whole park so I saw how it was whenever a union contract would come up for renewal, we were the automatic scabs of the park, my girlfriends mother just got her 30 years of service award working in fantasyland and now has a silver pass that will turn gold when she retires and they can't do anything about it, she will get in free and get us in free until she DIES. The uniions kill the profits for the park operations and if they are able to lay off the 15 to 20 year old employees, then bring new people in, the shareholders will indeed get the profits they are looking for and be happy for one more year.
