Reply #13: I guess it's more the tight relationship with GE . The board of directors [View All]

of the "fun Factory" is fairly conservative. I guess George Mitchell is alright. http://corporate.disney.go.com/corporate/complete_history.html

Miramax (owned by Disney) produced Michael Moore's F911 and was supposed to distribute it however Disney refused to release the film in fear of retribution from Jeb. I am sure it's all about the huge tax breaks etc. I guess they have to make nice nice now! and keep the Bush family and it's rightwing group happy! Just another corporate giant pandering to the right so they can make lots of money.

Maybe MadFloridian doesn't know that in Florida we call it the Mouse Factory’ – or sometimes just ‘the Rat’ for many reasons. They don't treat their worker too well. There are constant labor disputes with the 6 unions Disney allows. There is a huge turnover rate, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57 an hour or less. The company’s starting wage hasn’t changed in five years. The working conditions on board their cruise ships are appalling. If cruise workers try to form unions, they are threatened with dismissal. There are all kinds of problems with the merchandise produced by Disney providers oversees. etc. etc. etc. And I can go on and on!
