Disney: Unionized cast members must approve company contract to receive $1,000 bonus
After the Trump administration’s tax reform was passed in January, Disney announced that it would deal out $1,000 bonuses to over 125,000 eligible employees. However, the union representing Disney World cast members said that on Monday the entertainment giant decided to withhold the bonus from unionized employees who do not approve their proposed contract. The contract Disney is pushing was voted against by 93% of employees in December, and 38,000 cast members in Orlando are having their bonus’ withheld in lieu of approving the contract. The union plans to file an unfair labor practice complaint, charging that the company is discriminating against unionized cast members exercising their collective bargaining rights.
