Last I checked, the retail stores were paying near the same as Disney... they figure if Disney can get away with it, so can they. So then, why Disney? Disney has (soon that might be 'had') better benefits, and more room for growth.Dopey Dave said:How many folks would chose to work for $6.50 an hour at Disney rather than $10.00 an hour sacking groceries at the local store? Seems like quite a few.

In response to what was said above, I know that when I started working for Disney, I knew that the pay wasn't that great, but at the same time I expected that I would eventually get a raise. I know for one, that working for Disney was my first job and now that I have to 'pay the bills' in the real world, I would appreciate for my employer to give me a raise to reflect the the rising cost of living. I can also tell you that my friend, who is at the top of the pay scale at Disney, had to borrow money in order to pay her electric bill this past month since they charged 'the average of users' since they couldn't get out to read everybody's meters.HennieBogan1966 said:Once again, allow me to say that those who agreed to work for Disney, did so, knowing what the pay scale was at that time. Why did they do that if they now consider that wage to be unfair? Could you answer that question for me? As well, they knew what the working conditions were, and what benefits they would be eligible for from Disney, given the level they were hired at.
Sadly, this wouldn't help his attitude. Look at Paris Hilton.10 min. to wdw said:I fully support the union as well on this. Walt disney once said something to the effect of disneyland isn't about money. I don't remember the exact quote but Eisner needs to try to live off of what a CM makes for takehome pay for 3 months and I think he would have a new appricaition for every CM out there.

Hennie, I'll bet you listen to Rush L. and the EIB Network, right?HennieBogan1966 said:I'm mystified at how the conversation, for your part, turned back the clock to slavery. But then again, ignorance will do that. The fact that some states are right to work states speaks to the fact that those states choose not to be governed by the federal government when it comes to work policies within their own borders. It's a term called states-rights. You might want to look into that before you make ignorant and old-play book political commentary.
Once again, allow me to say that those who agreed to work for Disney, did so, knowing what the pay scale was at that time. Why did they do that if they now consider that wage to be unfair? Could you answer that question for me?.....
This is another example of someone other than the ownership group of a company, trying to tell a company what is and what isn't a fair wage. Again, I don't disagree that the wages should be higher, but if you'll refer to my earlier post on this thread, I speak about the fact that this is an issue within each state, where voting correctly will speak more loudly than anything else we can do as citizens with regard to policy....
Let me ask you this. If you were a private business owner, would you want someone telling you how to run that business? I mean, you only invested your own money, your time, your energy, your life to that business. So, I guess you'd be okay with the federal govt. coming in and telling you how to run your business from top to bottom huh?
waltdisny said:This nonsense about it "just being a business" is the type of rhetoric that created labor unions in the first place. The corporations have both a moral obligation to ensure that their employees are justly compensated for their work. In addition, it is in their finanicial best interest to do so.
HennieBogan1966 said:(2) And lastly, the comments made my waldisny in his last post assumes that we are all too stupid and ignorant to negotiate our own wage for a job. I for one, believe in myself, and in the American people to care for themselves, and thereby, to negotiate their wages for any given job.
