News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

[Vegas Disney Fan]

My bet is $17 an hour… the back and forth to get there was just gamesmanship.

Universal upped regular parking now to $30...

While that's insane, I'll at least grant that they're parking garages with elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, all of which were expensive to construct and I'm sure, not cheap to maintain.

Meanwhile, at Disney, how are those "courtesy" tram returns coming?

Updating tweet as initially said all CMs will get min $5.50 raise by end of you but is really by end of the contract

Still, overall, this is a pretty big move and will be helpful to a lot of people and puts Disney at least even to Universal

 

[Disney Analyst]

I guess Disney could afford it after all.

Awesome. Every body should be happy. 8 weeks of childcare leave. Nice

 

[Andrew C]

They do. It’s almost everything the union wanted wage wise

Magical.

Congratulations to the CM’s on their raises…this thread will be bumped in a year when the complaints start yet again that $18.00 is not a living wage…

Curious to see how the stock will fare between this and the upcoming "bloodbath" events.

Jokes on you, with insurance costs here it already isnt.

No, the jokes NOT on me…I KNOW the pundits won’t be happy with the increase, that was exactly my point

And people need to see the nightmare of the Florida insurance market. There are people living along the coast in normal houses who are finding out their insurance for their home is $18,000 a year now. A NORMAL HOUSE.

Well there ain’t much “living” you can do on less than $40,000 a year, but it’s better than nothing.

Yep. Rinse and repeat

I think any wall streeter who has grey matter between their ears knew that Disney would wind up with a quick path to $18; not because they’re suddenly pro union, but because that’s just the market rate now and they would need to be paying that without a union.

So the stock, if anything, will like having some certainty.

Inflation is already eroding everyone's purchasing power. Increasing the money supply without a corresponding increase in things to buy, just means what exists costs more. Evil Hamster Wheel.

This is a question, is this from the a crazy increase from storms?? Since i retired I had been investing living by the beach (lol my dream when I hit powerball) and was floored with the rates and a few companies don't even issue coverage. WTH?
