Walt Disney World’s least wage is $15/hr and Disney’s offer you that incorporated a $1/hr yearly increase for the up coming four yrs has was rejected by 96% of users very last thirty day period.

If even so, Disney agreed to the $18/hr minimal wage the STCU is inquiring for, this would then be $1/hr bigger than the agreed sum that Universal Staff Users are promised.
We are really conscious of Disney’s efforts beneath the helm of CEO Bob Iger of price tag cutting but Solid Member fork out absolutely should not be an place that feels the pinch. We are hoping that Disney can concur a good arrangement with STCU on Solid Member pay back for the future.
