According to a Facebook post by a prominent Walt Disney World Cast Member union, Disney has promised several protections to Cast Members when they are called back to work.

Unite Here Central Florida took to Facebook to outline several of the safety measures Disney will put in place when they reopen Disney Springs and the Disney theme parks. While we already know what Disney is doing in Shanghai Disneyland, this agreement is specifically focused on Walt Disney World.

According to the post, Disney has promised to make masks for guests and Cast Members mandatory. Disney CEO Bob Chapek has already said that it’s very likely that guests will be required to wear masks, but this agreement ensures it.

Other protections include checking guest temperatures, plexiglass dividers at the registers, and contactless payments that will have guests swiping their own credit cards. Disney will ensure that high traffic areas are cleaned more often and that there will be increased sanitization and hand washing stations around property.

For Cast Members, Disney will provide three washable masks, training, and thermometers. In addition, Disney will give Cast Members two weeks of paid sick leave if they contract COVID-19 and they will not face any discipline.

As of publish time, the Walt Disney World theme parks remain closed indefinitely, but Disney Springs will begin a phased reopening on May 20th.

Disney hasn’t made an official statement on the matter, but the agreement has been finalized according to the Union.
