Disneyland unions agree to 'historic' 31% pay raise

The pay hikes over three years are the ‘biggest wage increases ever’ for Disneyland resort employees, according to the unions.

Disneyland workers and managers both declared victory after union members voted to accept a “historic” pay raise for ride operators, store clerks, ticket takers and other employees following a bruising four-month fight that narrowly avoided a strike at the Anaheim theme park. “We are pleased that our cast members approved the new agreements, which, along with all we offer as part of our employment experience, demonstrate how much we value and respect them and our profound commitment to their overall well-being,” according to Disneyland officials. The union coalition — which has been negotiating with Disney over a new contract since April — represents ride operators, store clerks, custodians, candy makers, ticket takers, parking attendants, tram drivers and other cast members.
