Disneyland workers vote to ratify new contracts that increase wages

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Disneyland workers have voted to ratify new contracts that include pay increases and changes to sick leave policies after months of negotiations.

Workers including ride operators, candy makers and parking attendants voted to ratify three-year contracts that raise the minimum wage to $24 an hour from $19.90 this year, a coalition of four unions representing 14,000 workers announced Monday night. The deal came after workers at Disney’s California theme parks and resort area authorized a possible strike following months of negotiations over wages, sick leave and other benefits.

“For months, hardworking Cast Members have stood together at the negotiating table and in the parks to ensure that Disney recognized what they contribute to the theme park experience, and these contracts are a concrete and direct result of that tireless work,” the coalition said in a statement.

Disneyland, the world’s second-most-visited theme park after Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida, welcomed the vote and said it values its employees. Most of the more than 35,000 workers at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure and the Downtown Disney shopping and entertainment district in Anaheim, California, are represented by unions.

“We are pleased that our Cast Members have approved the new agreements, which, along with everything we provide as part of our work experience, demonstrate how much we value them and how committed we are to their overall well-being,” Jessica Good, a spokesperson for the resort, said in a statement.
