Disney World offers full-time jobs to 427 part-timers - Orlando Sentinel

Disney World offers full-time jobs to 427 part-timers - Orlando Sentinel: "Walt Disney World has offered to elevate 427 part-time workers to full-time status because those employees have worked enough hours during the past year to qualify as full-timers under the federal Affordable Care Act.

But officials with the Service Trades Council, the coalition of unions that represents more than 30,000 full-time and part-time workers at Disney World, say they are hesitant to accept the offer because it could mean elevating some employees over more-senior part-timers who have been waiting for full-time positions.

The 427 part-time workers whom Disney would make full-time represent a tiny sliver of the giant resort's total part-time workforce. Disney has approximately 24,000 part-time employees."
