Under a contract settlement, the Walt Disney Company will raise Walt Disney World employees’ minimum pay to $15 an hour by October 2021. Unions representing half of the theme park’s workers pushed for higher wages. Jeremy Haicken, the president of the largest of the negotiating unions said that most park employees earn less than $11 hourly. Walt Disney World “cast members” will vote on the contract September 5th and 6th. ___ “We are thrilled our cast members will have the chance to vote on what is one of the highest entry-level service wages in the country. This represents a 50 percent bump in pay bringing starting wages to $15 an hour by 2021,” said Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Vice President of Labor Relations Robbin Almand.
