Vaccines are the best tool we all have to help control this global pandemic and protect our employees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That said, the company is not yet mandating union employees be vaccinated as that will require collective bargaining negotiations with union representatives, but according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/business\/business-news\/disney-requiring-all-employees-be-vaccinated-1234990995\/\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Disney has begun those talks.<\/p>\n<p>Disney joins other entertainment companies like Netflix already mandating Covid vaccines. As the Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/netflix-mandates-vaccinations-for-all-employees\">reported<\/a>, last week, the streaming giant announced it will now require \u201cZone A\u201d employees to receive coronavirus shots, which applies to the cast and crew of productions that haven\u2019t already begun filming.<\/p>\n<p>The same day Disney released its new vaccination policy for employees, it also <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/experience-updates\/#drawer-card-faceCoverings\">announced<\/a> that it will once again require visitors to its Florida and California theme parks over age two to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status. In a statement posted to its website, the company says that face coverings will be required while riding all attractions and on Disney buses, monorails and skyliners. Masks will be optional in outdoor common areas.<\/p>\n<p>According to THR, \u201cNetflix\u2019s policy change occurred days after Hollywood\u2019s major studios and guilds released new set safety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/business\/business-news\/hollywood-can-mandate-vaccinations-on-sets-say-studios-and-guilds-in-short-term-deal-1234984919\/\">protocols<\/a> July 19, including giving producers the \u201c\u2019option to implement mandatory vaccination policies for casts and crew in Zone A on a production-by-production basis.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously reported, according to The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), businesses are allowed to require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 provided they make \u201creasonable accommodations\u201d for employees who choose to forgo the vaccine due to religious beliefs, pregnancy, or disabilities.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
