Workers sue Disney claiming they were fraudulently induced to move to Florida from California
SUMMARY
Disney workers are suing the company, claiming they were fraudulently induced to relocate from California to Florida for a new office campus, which was later scrapped amid Disney's conflict with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In July 2021, Disney announced plans to transfer up to 2,000 employees to a new campus near Walt Disney World. Despite reluctance, many employees moved, selling homes and uprooting families, only to be told in June 2022 that the move was delayed until 2026. By May 2023, Disney canceled the project, prompting financial and logistical hardships for those who had relocated. The workers seek economic and punitive damages.
