Disney cast members are getting a $6 raise under new contract
Less than two weeks after voting overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, workers announce they have ratified a “historic” contract.
Thousands of Disney cast members will receive a $6.10 raise over the next three years as part of a newly ratified contract, the unions representing workers announced this week.
The unions said the wage increase is the largest ever, bumping the starting base pay at $24 per hour this year. Many workers will then see their pay climb to $26 per hour by 2026. The contract also includes “historic” longevity increases for senior cast members, improvements to attendance and sick leave policies and “new premiums for cast members.”
The contracts take immediate effect, according to the announcement.
