According to a post on Unite Here Local 362’s Facebook page, Disney will be paying certain Walt Disney World Cast Members for obtaining one of the available COVID-19 vaccines.
In a press release attached to the post, the union which represents attractions and custodial Cast Members, amongst others, states that Cast Members will be paid four hours worth of pay for receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Additionally, it mentions dates of January 1st, 2021 thru September 30, 2021, meaning Cast Members who have already been vaccinated should also be eligible for the additional pay.

I am fully vaccinated. Can I NOW have my job back?
That’s pretty nice. My job is doing the same thing. We get up to 8 hours (4 for each shot as long as during work hours).
Many Employers are offering PTO (paid time off) to their Employees to get vaccinated, so this is nothing new. But still good to see it offered to CMs.
Deathsantis will likely ban this too.
