Disney advertises the year-long program as a way for Africans to be cultural ambassadors of their country while taking classes to improve their work skills. Some are on such a tight budget that they are eating only candy bars. The union can't help because the international workers are not represented by the union.
Workers receive no compensation when they are injured and have to miss work.
Consequently, they must rely on friends to buy and prepare food for them or work injured. Others can't take classes because they have to work during class hours. Disney insists that they make no false promises and that all workers must sign a contract that spells out all the details in advance. By being the first to raise its wages, SeaWorld hope to attract the best workers for its busy summer season. They need 700 workers in their merchandise, food, and operations areas.
