Disney to require all salaried, non-union hourly employees in the U.S. to be fully vaccinated

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The Walt Disney Company announced Friday it is requiring all salaried and non-union hourly employees in the U.S., working at any of its sites, be fully vaccinated.

“Employees who aren’t already vaccinated and are working on-site will have 60 days from today to complete their protocols and any employees still working from home will need to provide verification of vaccination prior to their return, with certain limited exceptions,” Disney stated.

Conversations with the unions representing employees under collective bargaining agreements “have also begun,” Disney said.
