I don't think that Carnival pays into the unemployment fund because they are not U.S. company and don't even pay U.S. income tax. Their employees also don't pay U.S. taxes. But, Disney pays for unemployment compensation and I think their employees should be able to use the fund. Why should the Disney stockholders lose money when the company has been successful? I don't know if Disney received any of the stimulus money or not. But, furloughing employees is a logical action when you don't have any work for them to do.
