Disney had workers relocate for a new $1 billion campus it later canceled. Now it’s being sued

Two Disney employees sued the company for allegedly forcing them to relocate from California to Florida, only to cancel the $1 billion Orlando campus where they were supposed to work.

Maria De La Cruz and George Fong, who both work in product design, filed a potential class action suit on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Business Insider reports.

The suit accuses Disney of “solicitation of employee by misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation.”

The aggrieved employees said Disney told them in 2021 that they needed to relocate from the Glendale, California office to the new campus it was building in Lake Nona, Orlando.
