Please do bear in mind that that is a separate scenario. The company promised, very publicly for that matter, that all U.S. Full Time employees will get a $1,000 cash bonus. The announcement made no mention of any exclusions, conditions, or prerequisites to receive it, other than being full time, U.S. based before 1/1/2018. On Monday, Disney announced that we (unionized cast members) will not receive the bonus unless we agree to their wage offer by the end of August. They also just did the same thing to 2,700 unionized employees in negotiations with the company at Disneyland.
For what it's worth, we received a proposal at the end of 2017 offering the same wage increase they're offering now, plus a $200 (or $250, I don't recall) cash bonus if agreed to it. It was turned down by 93% of voting Cast Members.
I think most of us just feel that this was a low and offensive move on the part of the company. They are welcome to use bonuses to entice CMs to vote for a proposal, but not the very same bonus that they promised us over a month earlier with no strings attached.
Yes, they have. And the unions have filed an unfair labor complaint with the NLRB.
