Disney Mandates Vaccine For Cast Members

Not too long ago we got word that Walt Disney World would be mandating the Covid-19 vaccine for non-union Cast Members working at the Walt Disney World resort. However, this mandate will now extend to union Cast Members to include those who belong to the Service Trades Council and Actors Equity. 

Walt Disney World confirmed that they reached agreements with these union groups on Monday and that Cast Members will need to provide proof of vaccination by October 22nd. Exemptions are available for those with religious or medical conditions, but those who do not comply or get an accommodation will lose their positions with the company. 

To assist Cast Members in complying with this mandate, Walt Disney World will be hosting onsite vaccine events over the next several weeks. During these events, Cast Members can receive the Pfizer vaccine, which has received FDA approval over the last few days.
