I can see it now. Disney fired the employee because they consider themselves "exempt" due to the fireworks license. I'd be willing to bet that they did not inform the employee of their status or prove that they had ground to fire him because of their exemption.

I've seen cases sort of like this get won by union employees because the company failed to present the facts to the employee at the time and just assumed that he was familiar with them.

I'll bet the whole thing comes back to bite them in the tail.

I sooooo hope it does, but Disneys lawyers were the one's that snuck (7)(e) in under the guise of a Defense Contractor provision at the last minute. I wish Mr Sotomeyer luck, but it is up to Jon Gutmachers consideralbe skills as a lawyer to pull this one off.

(7) (e) Property owned or leased by a public or private employer or the landlord of a public or private employer upon which the primary business conducted is the manufacture, use, storage, or transportation of combustible or explosive materials regulated under state or federal law, or property owned or leased by an employer who has obtained a permit required under 18 U.S.C. s. 842 to engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in explosive materials on such property.

Getting an exemption under (7)(e) is a stretch that I doubt would stand in court.

Disney is not primarily in the business of manufacture, use or storage of. Sure, they do it, but it is far away from being primary.

They are using an exemption in a way it was not meant to be. Like I stated earlier, they are nothing but an amusement park, they are not a defense contractor, nor do they have anything to do with things that matter. Its a Mickey Mouse operation,and in the big scheme of things they dont matter.

That right there will cost them.

Isn't Disney World also legally a city in Florida. Complete with their own court?

If so, wouldn't that also fall under the Florida premption laws?

I have been to Disney 20 times and have taken the tour of the Utilidoor (under ground) and I do know that Walt negoatied the rights to build his own airport if they were wanted to and the right to build a neclear power plant but never have seen or heard about being it is own city or their own court. Maybe you are thinking about celebration? Celebration is their own living community (Very stepforish) Weird place all houses are cookie cutter types.

Yes, Disney World is it own city complete with a mayor and its own laws etc. That was part of the original deal. You can look it up easily for details but they are under their own jurisdiction.
