Disney World and Unions Agree on Wage Increase in Tentative Deal
Walt Disney World has reached a tentative deal with unions for service workers that would raise the starting minimum wage from $15 to $18 an hour. The agreement also includes affordable medical coverage and 100% paid tuition reimbursement for higher education. The contract covers more than half of the 70,000-plus workforce at Disney World. The deal will be voted on by service workers who are in the six unions comprising the Service Trades Council Union coalition next Wednesday.
