Walt Disney Co. continues to face fallout from its scuttled plans to move 2,000 California employees to a proposed Florida campus — a controversial decision the company reversed last year following the return of Chief Executive Bob Iger.
The proposed class-action lawsuit seeks to represent 'all current and former California Disney employees who relocated from California to Florida as a result of Disney's announcement of the Lake Nona Project.' It seeks unspecified punitive damages. Initially, Disney envisioned it would eventually save money on the $1-billion Lake Nona development, due to lower worker costs in Florida. It was also drawn by tax credits offered by the state for relocating businesses.
