Disney Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Canceled Employee Relocation to Florida

Employees allege financial and emotional damages after being pressured to move for a project that was later scrapped.

The lawsuit was filed by two current Disney employees, Maria De La Cruz and George Fong, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Disney announced the $1 billion Lake Nona campus project in 2021, prompting 2,000 employees to consider relocation.
Employees claim they were told they would lose their jobs if they did not move to Florida.
The project was canceled in 2023 after Bob Iger returned as CEO and amid a legal battle with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, claiming Disney misrepresented its plans and failed to provide adequate compensation.
