So what will happen here is Disney will fire all of them, the NLRB will sue, and the Supreme Court will decide the NLRB can't do that, thus ending the last vestiges of labor rights in the US

MODERATORS
You are being unnecessarily pessimistic. Which is not helpful and also a massive buzzkill. Honestly what you said sounds identical to what a reactionary would say.
You have to consider that it would take an incredible amount of time and money to train 14000 replacement employees, making it unlikely to happen. Even if Disney manages to hire scab workers, the quality of the park will fall and Disney will lose business.
You're right, I can't imagine Disney doing something like lowering their quality in order to make more money, they are artists and they would never compromise their art for short term profits!
If I wanted to hear people say that organized labor action is ineffective and doomed to fail, then I would go talk to chuds because that is what chuds say.
It's not doomed to fail, this is really cool and good! Being aware of difficulties this action will face and the character of their enemy is necessary. If you're doing real labor actions you have to pay attention to reality, eyes wide open and clear headed
There aren't 14,000 people in Disney's immediate area that they could scab these people with. Additionally, the bad press about "the happiest place on earth" would not be becoming for Disney.

They're just going to put all the kids on the It's a Small World ride to work.
I thought championing genocide wouldn't be becoming for democrats and people would turn on biden but it turns out I was wrong, Perhaps I am just being pessimistic but thats for good reason
Yeah, jeez. I love hexbear but some optimism and hope won’t hurt anyone.
What are you talking about. Disney is one of the most anti labor and litigious companies on the planet and our current supreme court is one of the most labor unfriendly in history. If you think Disney won't try literally every single thing they can to stop this I don't know what to tell you. Full support to the workers here I hope they win but it's not pessimistic to acknowledge they have a hell of a fight on their hands in a country that will do everything it can to stop them
yeah, that sounds pretty realistic unfortunately
Followed by a bunch of Mickey Mouses walking around Florida with guns, hopefully
Can't wait for the takes from Disney adults and Disney influencers. I'm sure they will be level-headed and not full-blown ragebait in the slightest...
"Don't these people know that they're ruining the magic for the children! ~~I wanted~~ my child wanted Woody for Toy Story to dance for me for hours on end, and now these people are striking over things like "inhumane conditions" and "heat stroke" they should just shut up and appreciate how great of a job this must be!"
death to disney, uncritical support 
no more half measures walter
Oh shit they're doing it. some contacts have been telling me about this for a while but I didn't think it'd be so soon. Best of luck!
