Disneyland has since reached agreements with another 10 unions on the furloughs, set to begin April 19th. These unions represent food and beverage workers, pyrotechnicians, sound mechanics, stage managers, stage technicians, and other Cast Members in Disneyland.

According to the Orange County Register, the agreements with this new round of unions primarily focus on hourly Cast Members who will continue to receive members’ health insurance benefits coverage, educational support, and additional employee assistance programs during the furlough.
