Disneyland agrees to pay its workers $15 an hour

Disneyland workers in California are getting a pay raise.

Unions representing nearly 10,000 Disneyland workers accepted Disney's three-year contract to raise starting hourly wages to $15 an hour beginning next year. The agreement ends a lengthy labor battle over pay at Disney's Anaheim resort.

Minimum wage employees at Disneyland made $11 an hour. The deal immediately raises their pay 20% to $13.25 an hour. The $15 starting rate will go into effect on January 1, 2019. It will go up to $15.45 in June of 2020.

Disney said an employee making $11 today would earn an additional $8,000 a year.

Fine with me.  Went there once in the 1970s and once was more than enough.  Overpriced, underwhelming amusement park.  I have a much better amusement park 20 miles from me. Not cheap, but far more entertaining.  And no PC or LGBTQRSTUV propaganda either.
