A California Judge has approved a $233 million settlement in a Class Action Lawsuit against Disneyland for failing to pay a living wage to Union Members at the Resort and Theme Park. In 2018, Anaheim voters passed Measure L, which required companies in the City’s Resort Area that receive tax rebates to pay their Staff a $15 minimum wage. UNITE HERE Local 11, United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 324, Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) Local 83, Service Employees International Union (SEIU)-United Service Workers West were among the Unions who fought to ensure that corporations benefiting from subsidies shared their profits with Workers. Disneyland resisted the new law for years, but Workers eventually won what is now the largest Class Action Wage Theft case in California history. “There’s a couple of people who are getting ($100,000),” said Nathan Delgadillo, a Server and Member of UNITE HERE Local 11. “For all the Workers, this will have a profoundly positive impact. And as a Union, this is our whole program - it’s like having a vision and seeing that vision come true.”
