Happy for the cast members, not like Disney can’t afford it but another excuse to raise prices. Disney makes enough money to pay cast members a decent wage without raising prices anymore.
But how will Bob afford another yacht? Glad they might have to pay decently – but they should attach pay scales to the success of their movies – which have by and large SUCKED. As previous comment says just another excuse to raise prices – which is BS.
That’s exactly what Disney needed. I was thinking just the other day, I’ve got way to much money, I need to go to Disney World. A day or two there and I won’t have to worry about being able to pay for the less important things in my life like food, mortgage, and utilities.
Another management waged union buster talking, automatically assumes if they are union and start to get a decent wage they won’t work and they will only work for incentive pay.Stop already Disney can afford to pay a decent wage,maybe they should make better movies.
Walt Disney did not believe in Unions. Read up on this. I hope people will be able to afford to visit the Parks in the future. I have been many, many times to 3 of the different parks. We worked hard each time to get to visit. I am dreaming of taking my Grand daughters, but now, can we afford this? I miss Uncle Walt, what he dreamed and believed in for every family.
Please read the article closely. This article revolves around the unionization at Walt Disney Animation Studios. It’s the production staff in animation that is being unionized, it has nothing to do with the parks. It find it hard to believe that something that has happened in a completely different division will have any effect on your vacation experience in the park. Disneyland cast members, maybe, Imagineers, maybe, animation employees? I highly doubt it.
Disney would not need to worry about unions if they treated their castmembers well and let them earn a living wage. They keep as many casmembers as possible as part time to avoid benefits, pay them less, and have their schedules all over the place (stay until 11pm then be back at 8am the next day to open). If they need to manage their BILLIONS of $$ and not worry how may Jets, Yachts, and houses each of the upper management owns and salaries they get which 99% of the castmembers could not earn in 100 lifetimes. That is why prices are high to visit and they keep eliminating or charging high prices for things which were once included.
I was wondering why Disney canceled many productions. They cut their Vancouver (Canada) team. They stopped making other series & films. Knowing that the production teams are now in a union, it makes much better sense.
One Disney department unionizes. Disney cancels (severely reduces) what that department does. Then, they announce that they have to raise the cost to their consumers, because they have to treat one department fairly. 🙄
No matter if it’s a Mom & Pop shop or a Global monster, showing respect, commitment & appreciation to your employees creates a culture of reciprocity. Happy people are productive people. Those who don’t acknowledge and execute that business mentality will indeed feel the fallout.
Now, if Disney realizes that their guests and fans deserve the same (by NOT out pricing while providing less “magic”), they will see much more steady profit in the long term than if they continue their gauging of the families that “butter their bread”. There’s only so many one-and-dones. Repeat/habitual guests are Disney’s bread and butter.

Now they are just gonna get lazier and have no reason to work hard. Incentive based pay is the best structure, earn your wage.
