Disney settles wage lawsuit in California

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Five years after workers first took Disneyland to court for allegedly skirting an Anaheim minimum wage law, resort owner Walt Disney Co. has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for $233 million. The company approved the preliminary settlement Friday, which accounts for back pay with interest.

I wonder how much money they made on the 233 million while they sat on it for 5 years.

To pay its employees a decent wage, Disney would have to charge more than, like, $100 a day for tickets, and no one is going to pay that!

Good for the employees. I stand by the idea that if a business can't pay a living wage to the people who actually run the business, then it is not a viable business. Yes, I know the term "living wage" can mean different things. At least allow them to pay rent and not have to get food stamps. At least put them over the poverty rate.
