(8,219 posts)Tell you what - since disney is such a wonderful company that they feel compelled to strip their maintenance crews to a skeleton group so that they don't have to pay those pesky wages and watered down bennies (helps that corporate bottom line to do that you know), we should just do the following to make you all happy.
Just do what most doctors, cell-phone providers and credit card companies do - issue a waiver at the door that says you waive your right to a court trial the next time anything happens and you get to an arbitrator instead. Never mind that all the arbitrators are looking for repeat-customers so they will take the corporation with the money over Joe-poor-schlub-who-is-getting-screwed every time just to keep getting called back.
That way the next time that one of the overworked maintenance folks that just worked a double because 3 people on their short-staffed crew that just worked double-shifts, called in sick because they were up for 48 straight hours each, misses a bolt or something and the cars on space mountain fly off the tracks and kill everyone, then disney can just laugh at their asses and produce a waiver that says their families can't sue now. And even if they win a short-term large settlement, it can always get yanked later by the State supreme court!
That's what they are doing with medical suits by the way...lovely world you guys are helping to create for us.
