38,000 Disney Union Workers Push For Talks Regarding Wage Increase

38,00 unionized Disney employees are looking to re-open talks to negotiate a pay raise up from the current minimum hourly wage of $10.00. According to recent reports, talks are slated to take place starting on August 28th. The employees would negotiate through the Service Trades Council Union.

The Walt Disney Company signed an agreement back in 2014 that allowed workers to re-open wage negotiations beginning this year. Both sides have until October to come to an arrangement regarding hourly rates or the contract would have to be re-opened. This could have a knock-on effect on health-care and pension options.

The Walt Disney Resort is the largest theme-park in the world and boasts over 74,000 workers in the Orlando area.
