A tentative agreement has been reached between a union representing Disney park employees in California and the House of Mouse, avoiding a potential strike – at least in the meanwhile.
A union coalition representing 14,000 Disneyland workers said it reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year deal, heading off — for the time being — the possibility of a disruptive strike at the Southern California theme park properties.
“We have reached a tentative agreement with Disney,” the Disney Workers Rising Bargaining Committee said in a July 24 statement. “We have fought hard for the past four months and this tentative agreement would not have been possible without the strength we showed this past week with our rally and Unfair Labor Practice vote.”
According to the committee, the three-year contract includes “significant wage increases” for all covered employees, seniority increases and the retention of premiums. The contract also addresses issues “that will make the attendance policy work better for cast members,” it said.
