Disney Workers Sue Over Florida Relocation Amid DeSantis Clash

Disney workers have filed a lawsuit against their employer, alleging they were fraudulently encouraged to relocate from California to Florida for a new office campus that was ultimately canceled. This decision came amid ongoing tensions between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, affecting numerous employees' lives and finances.

Disney employees have filed a lawsuit claiming they were fraudulently induced to move from California to Florida for a new office campus that was later canceled amid a public spat between the entertainment giant and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

In July 2021, Disney Parks' leadership announced plans to transfer its white-collar workforce from California to a new campus in Orlando to consolidate teams and enhance collaboration. The move was expected to impact around 2,000 employees in digital technology, finance, and product development.

Although some workers were hesitant due to deep roots in Southern California, Disney promised an advanced, centralized workplace and greater affordability in central Florida. By late 2021, resistance among employees led Disney to put the relocation plans on hold, triggering a series of lawsuits from workers who had already moved.
