Disneyland agrees to pay its workers $15 an hour

Unions representing nearly 10,000 Disneyland workers accepted Disney's three-year contract to raise starting hourly wages to $15 an hour beginning next year. The agreement ends a lengthy labor battle over pay at Disney's Anaheim resort.

Minimum wage employees at Disneyland made $11 an hour. The deal immediately raises their pay 20% to $13.25 an hour. The $15 starting rate will go into effect on January 1, 2019. It will go up to $15.45 in June of 2020.

Disney said an employee making $11 today would earn an additional $8,000 a year.

The deal puts Disney on track to reach California's mandatory $15 an hour minimum wage three years before it goes into effect. It covers union workers in Disneyland jobs like attractions, store operations, custodial, costume, and transportation and parking.


"This agreement sets a new bar with minimum wages that are among the highest in the country," Disneyland president Josh D'Amaro said in a statement.

Disneyland has 30,000 workers, but the majority of hourly workers are represented by unions. Disney said wages for other hourly workers will be negotiated separately.

The labor fight got a public boost from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who pressured Disney to raise wages for workers in California and Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Sanders traveled to Anaheim last month and spoke at a rally that hundreds of Disneyland workers attended.

"The wages and benefits for its workers are atrocious," Sanders wrote in a Guardian op-edcriticizing the company and its CEO Bob Iger.

Disney is also in talks with unions in Orlando over pay and benefits at Disney World.

Conservatives lose, people are getting paid better after fighting for it and y'all said that wouldn't work and they don't deserve it.

Bernie haters lose, he's out here getting real results for people while Hillary cries into her beer and Tim Kaine is busy reaching across the aisle.

By Day, a Sunny Smile for Disney Visitors. By Night, an Uneasy Sleep in a Car.

Yeah, this was a grim and desperate article to read. I haven't been to Disneyland in 20 years, and unless under extreme circumstances, it's unlikely I will go back, but it's immoral for people to live like that. I had no idea they had 23,000 employees.

Good point, time to push for $18.

Bernie will support the next wage fight while Hillary is hiding somewhere, reminiscing on her Wal-Mart board days.

This was already California state law.

Disney falls outside of the group people suggest will be harmed by the mandatory wage increase.

I'm not sure why you're mentioning Bernie.

Min wage in Vermont is 10.50

Probably because Bernie is the only politician who fights for workers, it's also why he's the most popular politician in the US

Bernie sanders is not the only politicians who fights were workers.

Get the fukk outta of here spouting this nonsense.

And Bernie sanders has nothing to do with California state laws.



Imagine the most liberal state in the country needing Bernie sanders to push liberal policy.





Y'all sound like Trumpset.




Real shyt in almost every election there is someone championing labor rights and workers rights.

Get out and vote for them in the primary for fukk sake. If you don't live in Vermont I expect you to have a list of who's running for what in your district, city, state, etc.

Save yourselves.
