Tagging these users because they said that the strike threat would fail and Disney would just fire all the workers.
We love a messy bitch
Disney makes like a third of their revenue from their parks and it's like the only thing they've got that's still going strong with both their streaming service and their films being pretty big flops. Having to rehire and retrain 14k workers would have been so time intensive it would have been incredibly time intensive and would have probably forced them to close down the park for a really long time, not to mention losing thousands upon thousands in reservations, etc. Firing them was rally never an option at all.
100%. One, Disney takes longer to train staff than most places do in the first place, and that’s just for the generic CSR type jobs. Disneyland makes 10s of millions of dollars per day. A strike of even a few days would be devastating, and firing everyone would likely mean weeks to retrain.
You were really waiting on this one huh? 
Hello its me, I was publicly wrong on the internet!
Thanks for sharing the good news. Also you are an incredibly smug asshole and I'll be blocking you, thanks.
Lol
Re-engage.
lmao
Lmao
I mean, not to be doomer but they could just be doing this for good PR and then just lay everyone off 3-6th months from now.
I mean regardless they have a contract now right? Even new workers will get these raises
Read other replies to learn why firing thousands of workers off rip isn’t a viable strategy for Disney
Not that anyone here needs the reminder, but
Every pay bump is an admission of guilt
The answer, of course, is that the money was already there. Your boss was just taking it instead of giving it to you. This is the simple but critical point that we all should chew on. Because when you chew on it, the flavor of revolution leaks out into your gums, real sweet. Every celebration of a union’s hard-fought gains in a strike or in bitter contract negotiations should be accompanied by an equal and opposite condemnation of the company itself for making its own valued “team members” go through such a struggle just to get what was clearly there all along.
We love to see it 
also all of these signs rule, "Bippity Boppity Boost our pay" especially lmao
I can't imagine working in the sun all day, in heavy costumes, staying in character at all times. The work must be really hard and they deserve this.
And it's not just the character actors that are in character, it's every worker that is public facing.
Every customer interaction is to engage in an act. At least the polite ones make it easier, but pretending to be happy to help some dumbass who couldnt find something marked by a sign always grates.
Oh fuck yeah this is great
Ha ha ha I gotta congratulate some comrades now for their huge work helping to make this happen
Eat shit, megacorporations.
just goes to show how much surplus profit they're really making off them

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
