Disney asks employees to pay for its lobbying

Mickey Mouse outfit Walt Disney has asked its employees to pay for its court cases to stop piracy and lobbying of politicians.

Disney has been getting stranger lately and has been asking its full-time employees to train cheap Chinese workers before firing them. However this latest effort makes it a clear front runner for the Wal Mart award for American business.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has sent a letter to the company’s employees, asking for them to open their hearts—and their wallets—to the company’s political action committee, DisneyPAC.

In the letter, which was leaked by a Disney employee, Iger tells workers about his company’s recent intellectual property victories, including stronger IP protections in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a Supreme Court victory that destroyed Aereo, and continued vigilance about the “state of copyright law in the digital environment.” It also mentions that Disney is seeking an opening to lower the corporate tax rate.
