Disney has been hit with a $36,000 penalty for a fatal fall in February, in which a worker fell through a rotten catwalk.

      the agencies involved here are not able to fine much more than that. But I guess a fair question is why are they only fining for this stuff after the fact? Do they not inspect periodically?

      Also the widow is suing Disney for wrongful death, so hopefully that will hit them a little harder.

        I don’t doubt there’s some limit to the fine, I’m more trying to point out the absurdity of how low that is for Disney. Surely we could concoct a system where the fine is based on some percentage rather than a flat rate that is probably decades out of sync with inflation.

    Why did they get fined? Surly the one that fell had a D+ subscription at some point ever, maybe even in the future.

      Notice fined… not sued. Im certain that clause was in every single contract that worker signed…
