$19/hr -> $24/hr... over 3 years...
sigh...
this will still barely match the cost of living for most of these people today, let alone 3 years from now.

Disneyland can afford to start their employees at $25. The happiest place on Earth shouldn't exploit their employees.
They focus on the 'historic' raise and don't mention any other part of the negotiations or contract. They don't mention that it's a pittance more than starting wages at McDonald's. Not that it likely screws over long term employees, once again.
While this is a good start. I think they could have fought for more. There is a lot of old numbers on those contracts that need to be reevaluated like specialty position rates. (25 cents/hr more)
They could have fought for the bullshit attendance policies that were recently enacted and for the eroding cast perks.
