Part-time cast members (at Walt Disney World), who worked enough hours to qualify for health benefits under the Affordable Care Act, are now being offered full-time positions by the Walt Disney Company. Bloomberg reports the offer was made to staffers who put in more than 1,500 hours in the past year, the threshold at which employers will be required to offer coverage, said Ed Chambers, president of the Service Trades Council, which represents 37,000 at Disney parks in Orlando. Other companies are reducing hours to avoid the mandate. Visit bloomberg.com for more.
