The Service Trades Council Union (STCU) has provided an update on the Cast Member contract battle over wages and other items. In the update, the STCU said its leadership “unanimously” recommends rejecting Disney World’s “best offer” of a $1 raise. The STCU has previously called for a $3 raise to $18/hr. Here’s the announcement:
Service Trades Council Union Negotiation Update
Today the Company presented the Union its best offer. The offer on wages is largely the same as the original offer that only provides an initial $1.00 increase for a large majority of STCU workers. The leadership of all six (6) unions of the STCU are unanimously recommending workers vote NO on this offer.
Disney workers are facing extreme financial difficulties including inflation, which has caused the price of food and rent to skyrocket. $16.00 per hour in 2023 does not keep up with the rising cost of living. Every worker needs an initial raise larger than $1.00 to address these concerns.
The Unions will be scheduling a vote for all STCU members in the coming weeks and will provide those details as soon as possible.
Union Shop Stewards and Committee members will review the proposal on Friday, January 13 during our all-day meeting. They will have information for members after the meeting.
