Here's a thought instead of having to give up part of your pay to the union become a non-union worker and you'll take home more money.:sohappy:

Unfortunately, that is part of every corporate story. We were bailing out Detroit while they were using private corporate jets. Once we, the "normal working" public, realize that management and corporate executives are not there to help us succeed, everyone will have a better handle on our flawed corporate system. Of course, if we had been talking about this in the 50's, we would have been labeled Communists. Today, the go-to label for anyone who thinks its ethically wrong for corporate heads to take more at the expense of the workers is just a Socialist.
I am not saying that I don't feel bad for these individuals, but I am pretty confident Disney will not budge. It is what it is. For me personally, if I was that upset that I was prepared to strike, I would be spending that time looking for a new job.

But my point was that - when taxes were raised (which they were last year or the year before), they took a larger chunck, so it was like not even geting a raise. Same as with the increasing cost of health care..... just sayin'. :wave:
Ummmm...taxes (income taxes, anyway) have gone down since Obama's been in office.

Seriously...why are we debating taxes? Higher tax brackets have not seen taxes go down. Hence, the "spread the wealth" argument. Now back to the original thread topic.. :sohappy:

Union's destroyed the American steel, garment, and auto industries by taking millions of jobs out of the country due to union's not budging.
Florida is currently at 12% unemployment.
Now how do you think Disney is going to handle this situation?
Jimmy Thick- It's so eeeeeeeeasy...

Disney's gonna move WDW to Brazil!
Disney doesn't have to move locations to eliminate the union positions, they have already been doing it for years, and will continue to do so.

Share holder value?
Surely thats dependant on customers paying premium price for a product that involves services provided by the workforce.

just throwing this out there... part of the offer was a $500+$100 bonus if accepted the first try, PLUS the ability to earn an additional $300-(health-care based) bonus.
So 2-4% raise, plus up to $900.00 in bonus money... everyone seems to keep leaving those out.
I would be MORE than happy to take that in my position, especially if I were in a frontline job (not to be confused with a career).
Just my 2 cents (which is less than 2-4% plus up to a 900 buck bonus ).

So wait...if the unions push back too hard, Disney will just close down all the parks and...outsource them to India? Or something?
Was that supposed to be one of the morals of the story here? :veryconfu
