The park, which employs 17,000 people, closed between March 13th and July 15th last year, and has been shut again since October 30th.
According to a union source, its management expects a return to pre-pandemic levels of activity only in 2022.
The Disney group has announced 32,000 job cuts at its theme park activities worldwide by the end of the first quarter, mostly in the United States, because of the impact of the coronavirus.
