News Disney offers to pay union members at least $15 by 2021

why can we not actually, you know, be taken care of

This was the best sentence that I’ve read in a long time.

Most CM's would be tap dancing in the streets if they took away overtime. What concerns me is they are talking about OT language which typically is code for ( how can we get out of paying it) but still have bodies here

Really? I would think most would want it.

This, unfortunately a lot of us really depend on that OT. It helps a lot.

The tweet above covers most of it

Wowza. Honestly it just makes it look like Disney is not a great place to work as a low-level CM. What are "call-in sick free days"?

Understandable.

This is going to result in a rapid acceleration in automation investment. Look for every Disney QS dining location to be mobile phone or touch-screen based ordering by 2021.

A common refrain with no basis in reality. Disney is already automating those jobs. If they could do it any faster, they would. It has nothing to do with a fractional increase in CM pay. The pushback is on the guest end, and with efficiency.

You get so many times that you can call in “sick” and not get a point that goes on your record card for it.

On one hand it seems like a compromise...but I wouldn’t renegotiate overtime...that’s an agenda ask.

That’s because that opinion is reflective of watching/forming their world view from a low rate squawbox show on “cable news”

It was never true...it never will be...higher wages put more money into the economy...including to the business and owners...in order to sell, you have to have someone to buy...

It’s pretty common sense.

What part/s sounds bad to you?

You don’t show up, you don’t get penalized, they don’t pay you. At least that’s how it used to be framed.

That’s a pretty standard thing there...it’s not that bad of a concept

Unless something has changed...if you have any ambition to increase your situation, you have to work OT. And you spend most of your time there.

It’s been that way for decades. Not saying I have an answer...but it’s the reality of it.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

With all due respect who made you the expert. You are good at insulting people I will give you credit for that. Cut us some slack and respect others opinion for a change.

No one...those “thoughts” are straight out the tailpipe

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Wrong again. There is a baseline increase but you can get more or less based on performance. For example, the baseline in a given year might be 3% but top employees might get 4% and weak employees might get 2% (I have no idea what the actual ranges are). If managers or departments are giving flat increases to their entire departments, then they're being negligent in their responsibilities and they're ignoring policy.

Have you or do you work for Disney??

Because you sure act like your leading the army the first time you’re in uniform...Seems a lot of generalizations about what you’re Econ/poly sci professor told you...when all you have to do is ask someone what it’s like to get a foothold on the situation

My wife worked at Fort Wilderness and Animal Kingdom from 2011 to 2014. She didn't join the union. We left Orlando four years ago but maintain close friendships with current cast members in Animal Programs, Guest Relations, Resort Merchandise, Finance, Deployment, etc.

I dunno, just seems like that encourages people to come in to work sick. That is not a good rule.

$15/hr in 2021 will be like minimum wage in relation to inflation. What a joke. The U.S. is seriously screwing with wage workers, costs go up, wages stay the same.

Hey it’s better than I make and have worked for my company for 17 years! Love my job and have great benefits, but make several dollars less than $15/hr. Started at right around $6ish when I first started which was OVER minimum wage in 2001. But yeah if it weren’t for my hubby I couldn’t live on my own by any means. Lol

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

@CaptainAmerica

So like college program and holdovers? No advancement?

I’m trying to grasp your angry pathos here...

You seem unusually angry about the concept of pay to those that run Godzilla.

But to be fair: that’s common. Not a unique stance.

Your last sentence pretty much sums it up.

But saying if I made $15/hr i Would be better off it’s almost $3 more than I make an hour that took me 17 years to get there. Lol But just thankful to have a great job I love and great benefits.
