Disney World and Unions Agree on $18 Per Hour Wage Increase.

Disney World and its unions have reached a tentative agreement to increase the resort's minimum wage from $15 to $18 an hour by the end of the year, making it the highest-paying tourism employer in Orlando. The deal will give full-time workers a $2 hourly raise upon ratification, with some workers receiving an $8.60 an hour raise during the proposed contract's run through October 2026. The agreement also includes eight weeks of paid child bonding leave for eligible employees. The deal is expected to be ratified next week.
