38,000 Disney Union Workers Seek Higher Minimum Wage – Talks Set For August 28th

If a workers’ committee approves Wednesday, unions representing 38,000 Florida Disney workers will re-open their 2014 labor contract to seek a higher minimum wage.

Negotiations to increased the Disney minimum wage from the current $10 an hour are scheduled August 28th.

Ed Chambers, President of the Service Trades Council at Disney, said in a statement that the Disney workers bargaining team is solid and experienced and they expect to get way more than the small 25 to 35 cents an hour raises of the past.

If Disney and the unions – which include UFCW, UNITE HERE, the Teamsters and IAM – don’t reach agreement on wages by October the whole contract could be re-opened.
