To be fair:

Disney did indeed "cancel" new episodes of Power Rangers, and the production company was out of work in Auckland. MMPR 2.0 was their answer of still holding the license and keeping Bandai of America happy. Their intent was to put extremely limited money behind it and reap as many rewards as they could before pulling the plug altogether.

Saban Brands then reached out to Disney and purchased back the rights.

Disney did indeed try to pull the plug on Power Rangers Wild Force due to the high costs of filming and production, but it was saved by the eventual EP's of Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder, who convinced Disney to keep the show alive by moving production to the cheaper (and non-union) Auckland, New Zealand.

That doesn't change the fact that twice Disney caused the production staff of Power Rangers to be jobless - once in California when they "cancelled" it after Wild Force (only to keep it alive in Auckland), and then again after RPM when their contract with the production staff was over.
