Conservative Workers Fearing Retaliation Ask Disney for Neutrality
Conservative employees at Disney are asking the company to stop wading into politics as it draws nationwide attention for its response to controversial education legislation recently passed in Florida.
A group of employees, wishing to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, wrote an open letter to Disney leadership that claims the Walt Disney Company has become an “increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive.”
“We watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership,” the letter reads, noting the company’s antagonistic response to the Florida legislation, named the “Parental Rights in Education” bill and has been branded the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by detractors.
A current Disney employee who was one of those behind the open letter told the Washington Examiner during a Wednesday interview that some Right-leaning Disney employees have been discussing their concerns with each other outside of work channels. The employee said they don’t want to see the company become “a political arm of the Democratic Party.”
“This opposing of legislation, in particular, I find very distasteful for a company to do on behalf of politically minded employees,” the insider said. “That just strikes me as really gross because we’re talking about a multibillion-dollar company deciding to use their assets to subvert the democratic process.” (Read more from “Conservative Workers Fearing Retaliation Ask Disney for Neutrality” HERE)
