Disney, union extend contract until after holidays

This article comes to us from Jason Garcia at the Orlando Sentinel.

Walt Disney World and its largest labor group, stuck in deadlocked contract talks, said Wednesday that they have agreed to extend their current pact until after the holidays.

Disney’s contract with the Service Trades Council, which represents about 20,800 full-time workers at the giant resort, will now run through Jan. 20. It had been scheduled to expire Dec. 11.

The six-week extension was driven in large part by the calendar. With Christmas approaching — an intensely busy period of the year for Disney World, as children across North America are out of school — making time for further negotiations or staging a worker vote is becoming increasingly difficult.

Disney and the Trades Council have been negotiating since June.
