Union Members Reach Deal With Disney World for Wage Increase
Walt Disney World on Thursday reached a tentative deal with unions for service workers at the company that would raise the starting minimum wage from $15 to $18 an hour.
Under the agreement, every current theme park worker in the union will receive a raise between $5.50 and $8.60 by the end of the contract, with the first $3 in raises arriving this year, Matt Hollis, head of the coalition of unions, said in a statement.
“Securing an $18 minimum hourly rate this year, increasing the overall economic value of Disney’s original offer, and ensuring full back pay for every worker are the priorities union members were determined to fight for. Today, we won that fight,” Hollis said.
