This is what happens when you spend $180 million on trash that alienates your loyal customers...
Not counting Rouge One and Andor, Acolyte, the sequel trilogy, BOBBF, OW, and Mando season 3 cost $1,619 million to make.
Let their hard-fought "twitter audience" open their wallets, to keep disney in business.
This is one of the problems when a company grossly exaggerates it's profits in order to placate stockholders.
Except Disney isn't placating stockholders. They've basically told their stockholders that they don't matter years ago.
So as a former Disneyland CM, I can say that the issue is is multifaceted. Four years ago, Disneyland Cast Members were making $15.50 per hour to start when negotiations started. Around the same time, the McDonald's across the street on Harbor Blvd put out a banner out front that advertised $17 to start. Getting a second job as a CM is nearly impossible, as work hours widely varied and giving shifts away was limited to a small number per year, resulting in a good number of Cast Members living far below the poverty line with a number of them reportedly living out of their cars. Meanwhile, prices backstage for CM cafeterias and snacks have skyrocketed, leaving many additional cast members in a state of food instability. After a long negotiation period, a strike vote was taken and struck down when Disney's best counter - $17.50 to start as opposed to the $20 that had been asked for - was given with the threat that if a strike was unsuccessful, the offer would be rescinded and the pay rate would remain at $15.50. While the starting rate was raised to $17.50, those Cast Members who were receiving more following years of service were left without raises, or a raise of a few cents, causing morale to drop even lower.
While Disney continued to claim that there wasn't money in the budget to afford such a raise, they also argued that complimentary admission and sign-in privileges, along with discounts at the Disney hotels (which are far outside of affordability with the discount) were generous ways to make up for the difference in pay. Meanwhile, the week the vote was taken was also the week that Disney started rolling out Genie+, and we visibly saw thousands of people paying the additional $20+ per person for lightning lane access. In addition, ticket prices were also raised along with other costs around the park. But yeah, there wasn't money in the budget to afford it, let alone money in the budget to allow for regular disinfecting of the breakrooms despite the high spread of Omicron amongst the frontline CMs.
Meanwhile, attendance policies were tightened, and many CMs were laid off when they were unable to get the time off they needed as points were given for any abscence, no matter the reason. This is where safety comes in. Cast Members, afraid of losing their income, began coming to work with Covid - exposing others, including myself - who lives with a highly compromised immune system. Turnover became rapid, and long time cast members began to quit or were let go with the attendance policy changes. This hightened turnover ends up leading to less experience and more accidents -- something that we saw with deadly results in the 90's under Paul Pressler.
This contract is vital to turning morale around in the Parks, and seeing the Company begin to value its Cast Members again. Doing so is the only way for the magic to return, because right now the morale is at an all-time low. And I know -- I was around in the Paul Pressler days.
At a time when the Company is promising $1.9 Billion for an expansion, Bob Iger is apparently paid enough to publicly buy a soccer team, and other major theme parks and resort area workers being paid more, front line Cast Members need to be treated with respect and acknowledgement for the work they do -- and at the moment, that is what's at stake with this vote.
Well said
For all those that have never worked and lived in Southern California; it’s VERY COMMON for people to drive AT LEAST and hour or two (sometimes more), to work every single day of the week. There’s a lot of people who work in the larger city of Los Angeles, and actually live a good hour or two away. People commuting insane distances and times is not out of the ordinary. THUS, if they’re going to be compensating all those people for commuting etc? THAT ALONE, could easily be tons and tons of money. It’s a much bigger deal than it sounds.
My son worked at Disneyland as a lead in merchandising and he said he would have to go through several lands in the park always but always clocking in and out at the mainstreet Arcade closest to entering the park. The cast members clocked in at their work station, not when they entered the park.
Is it worth it at 2 hours of commuting one way? What's the pay?
@@poulinhp can’t speak for anyone’s individual pay within the Disney company, but I’ve had several friends within the movie industry, (set design and construction, key grips etc) and they make several hundreds of thousands a year. Six figure jobs are also common place in LA. These friends would drive an hour to two to work and live in a family friendly bedroom community because of the safety and the school districts. Housing varied depending on the neighborhood you wanted to be in, but it’s always been MUCH more expensive than other places in the country (other than Manhattan, Miami, Palm Beach etc. ) So a small 1,200-1,400 sq ft house can sell for well over $600,000k. If you want a piece of land and more square footage in a good neighborhood you’re looking at a 2M house easily. I’ve had family members who work for one city, and drive three hours home to another. When you live there, everyone measures distance by time it takes to commute, not by the actual distance on a map. The freeways are screwed up. Too many people all trying to go in the same directions all the time. That and insane politics, laws, and taxes, add to the stress.
@@fourlittlebirds6166The freeways are screwed up largely because of the people commuting the way you describe. That’s a choice and they choose to contribute in a negative fashion that way.
@@SumDumGy that’s true. However it still doesn’t change that most people live that way. From personal experience, if a person doesn’t want to live that way, the best solution is to move. Add that up to everything else wrong with the state currently, and quite a lot of people choose to move out of state simply so they don’t have to make those kinds of crazy commutes.
I'm now fully convinced that there is no Disney failure that scares Burbank. Disney just does NOT fear ANY iceberg. Why?...because they have the "Titanic Mentality". That means: "We are so big and strong that not even God can sink us"
The big jerks need pay cuts. The worst kind of greed is when they are paid millions and their employees and parks are suffering. They make billions not millions. Karma on all the lowlifes who do this garbage to customers and employees.
Walt considered unions to be Communist in nature, and opposed efforts by his animators to organize. Turns out he was prescient. Maybe Disneycorp should try producing a desirable product line, thereby increasing income so they can hire more cast members at a better wage and maintain the physical property in top condition, maybe even upgrade existing attractions in a timely fashion so guests don't show up on a weekend when six major draws are yellow-taped.... Never mind, just pipe-dreaming here, move along.
Bingo. If you tried to join the Board with those common sense ideas, they would not let you anywhere near a Shareholder call.
It all begins... with a good product that the customer wants. That formulas is not MAGIC🪄 ✨
It also wouldn't hurt if people knock it off with this culture War crap we are already seeing these stupid woke and anti-woke programsTrying to make fun of the other group. I think Disney needs to work in making a piece with the workers
Yep, he was VERY anti-communism...the irony. They just want to keep on destroying everything he built and his ideals. There was some racism involved, but a lot of it is overblown because people have no ability to take into account the mindset of the majority of the population at the time. He actually advocated for James Baskett to get his Lifetime Achievement Academy Award for Song of the South, despite the fact the academy was too racist to let him go and accept it (why even give it to him? That's my question however). Regardless, ya he was as 'racist' as someone's 90-year-old grandfather that just knew the world before it became what it is. They're not necessarily racist because they use terms people don't like or have ideas others find 'unacceptable', because there is no malice behind what they say.
Imagine a thriving Star Wars land focused on actual Star Wars. There would be no financial problems even with all the other gross mismanagement of the last twelve years. Iger really is rather stupid. (Fox acquisition for ex)
Whatever weed you put in your copium tank, please share me some.
Sigh….
Interesting how they got their contract to expire at the middle of peak tourism season.
Just so that everyone is aware… Dole whips are NOT exclusive to the Disney company. Disney did not come up with them, the Dole company did. That was another way for the tiki room sponsor (Dole) to bring people in and advertise for their company’s products and how they were harvested.
So… incidentally, you can find Dole whips also in the universal theme parks and other places. (Not sure where in Universal Hollywood) but in Orlando they’re in one of the stands next to the “Me ship Olive” in Toon Lagoon.
My local gas station has pineapple Dole Whip. It’s delicious and cheaper than buying it at the Disney parks.
I've had a Dole Whip at the St. Louis Zoo
On another note, Dole Whips were exclusive to Disney at one point until Pepsi acquired them, Carnation, and Nestle in the 90’s. Pepsi tried to demand that Disney switch from Coke to Pepsi and when they didn’t, Disney lost exclusive rights to the Dole Whip.
We have it here at the Dole Plantation on Oahu.
There's lots of local restaurants and convenience stores that sell Dole Whip here in Hawaii outside of Dole Plantation. It's more affordable to get it at Kono's, Lawson Station or another dessert place that serves it than at any theme parks.
I actually have skin in this game and I hate the fact that the front line Parks & Resorts cast are the ones being hosed. But it isn't surprising.
Who deserves perks and goodies taken away are the "creatives" in the entertainment division. Executives, showrunners, writers and others fail consistently with their PC/DIE nonsense. Whether it's diminishing views and interest in Disney+ content or the fact that they've made 2 movies that made a profit in the last 18 months. Two.
Parks & Resorts have largely propped up the company since c0vid with their profits. I'll also single out the creative teams associated with P&R for their consistent failures. Should the folks behind the underwhelming Galaxy's Edge projects and now-closed Galactic Starcruiser be getting raises? Or for the disastrous and bland Splash Mountain/Tiana reskins? I don't think so.
That sucks. It sounds like bad management & fiscal irresponsibility all around. As well as getting political in a sphere where families want to escape reality not promote an agenda.
I predict a certain amount of suffering is about to descend on all of Disney. Some popcorn?
Strip corporations of "personhood" for terrible individuals to hide behind.
Exactly, all these corporations commit literal crimes pay s small fine and everyone moves on.... Why are the ceo's of these companies free of justice?
No. We need corporations to pay up for any wrongdoing. The idea is not to drop this, but to add criminal charges to individuals for their involvement.
@@dogg-paws There was a specific legal granting of "personhood" for corporations given by a court(s) last century that I'm referencing. Been a long time since I read about it, need to refresh. I don't mean end corporations or big business. I just don't believe a business entity should have equal rights with citizens. Only the individuals of the company, not the company itself for them to hide behind.
@@poulinhp Boards of directors, too. "Special rights and privileges" from political donations, I would think.
Attendance taking in Florida, and Anaheim may shut down because of a strike. The mouse seems to have a rather serious case of appendicitis of late.
The company my husband works for went on strike. My husband is part of the night stocking crew. They only got through the first day, before his company buckled, and he went to work that night. If Disney is smart, they will give these people what they want, or I hear crickets, and see Tumbleweeds in their future.
Eeek! There go my August vacation plans. I hope they settle this quickly. Yes, they need to pay their workers more.
“Quit doing my job, Iger.”Mickey’s old nemesis, Pete.
At this point, Disney may just resort to unretiring Sylvester Shyster.
I bet they really regret that DEI training now...
What's the problem? They're working at the happiest place on earth🙂
most fascist place on earth, you should see how many rules there are for employees at the parks It's crazy
That doesn't matter if one can't afford housing or food for oneself and family
How can a company in the entertainment industry fire 7000 employees and still think their final products will be popular with their clients( visitors)
One point of contention is that Disney wants a 5-year contract, while the union wants a 3-year contract.
Obviously, they are not remotely close to an agreement when it comes to monetary compensation, but the length of the contract is definitely one of the big issues they're in disagreement on.
It's 2024 right now. Disney doesn't want to go through this again until 2029, and do you know what's coming to the Southern California region in 2028?
If you said the Olympics, I would say winner winner chicken dinner.
Fancy that timing, eh?
Interesting!
Why does that matter, are they worried the employees will go work in Olympics?
@@bunberrierTourist money is probably what’s implied here.
Considering the Paris Olympics 2024 are having trouble booking rooms and flights as people avoid the Olympics due to the overcharging price gouging of it all. Thousands per night, thousands per ticket and more for markups that Delta Airlines, Air France, and hotels are losing business during that week. I wouldn't be surprised if Los Angeles 2028 has similar issues when they host the games as they also moved two sports to another state as well. Olympics are losing their notoriety with the public. It's cheaper to watch on cable and streaming than going to the Olympics Games.
@@bunberrier Because it's a headache/news story/distraction for the region/city that they don't need at a time when they should be in a celebratory mood.
Imagine cast members on strike or picketing, or one news segment about the positivity of the Olympics, followed immediately by the dire situation of thousands of cast members struggling to make ends meet.
It's not a good look at a time that the world will be watching the region.
Mr. Okeefe just posted strike three.
🏳️🌈
I was just there last weekend because we got that 3 day deal, and plan to go back in early September 😧 Any ideas what Disney would do for guests in a strike situation??? Even if it was a discount it was still expensive, so I really hope Disney doesn’t screw guests over 😡
I wonder if Disney World employees (in FL) may decide to strike sometime as well (maybe also in solidarity with their CA brothers & sisters)....🤔
Have you been to Disney World? I wouldn't say most of the people working there are of the highest IQ. My point is Disney will hire just about anyone. If they do strike the mouse will just fire them all and hire new bodies to fill those rolls.
The mickey fist is NOT an official union button, the official pins are authorized
Hey Bob, have you tried telling your employees that their expectations are unrealistic?
After all, I'm sure they are.
If they can let KK waste millions of dollars on refilming footage of movies that end up on the cutting room floor they can pay more to employees.
Didn't Disney lay off a lot of Cast Members too a while back under Bob Iger...pretty sure that might be mentioned in talks.
Vasquez Rocks. Where the Power Rangers fought the Tengas searching for Ninjor. For all the 80s and 90s kids out there.
Plenty of things have filmed in the Vasquez Rocks. Star Trek, the John Goodman Flintstones movie, anything that needs "a big desert with rocky mountains" usually films there
I was in post production in the late 90s and early 2ks. It's called "feast or famine." If you can't handle a 20 hour shift every once in a while, move over for someone who can. It doesn't happen all year long.
Sounds like slave labor. No job is worth working 20 hours a day. Sounds like this industry deserves to fail if this is how they treat their workforce.
14,000 employees… well if Disney took the $75,000,000 they spent on Tiana’s Bayou adventure and just kept it splash they could of just gave everyone $5000 bonus
If someone has worked for Disney for 37 years and is only making $23/ hr. that person should reexamine his life choices. Maybe his position only demands $23/hr. Food service and custodians will never make 100k/yr. Those positions don’t demand that wage.
Either way they can't afford it. Let the good times ROLL.
There goes my summer plans...
The clause regarding sleepy workers is HUGE.
I also like, “It’s at the employees request.” Rather than it being Management sending people home to cut the budget.
Burger flippers get $20/hour in Cali. This was inevitable. The whole state just got much more expensive to live in.
The reason they increased it to that is because it ALREADY was extremely expensive to live here. The average rent for a regular (not luxury) 1 bedroom apt in Orange County is more than $2,000. That was before the minimums were raised...it's not cheap to live here, that's why they were raised. Disneyland keeps raising prices on parking, admission, food, extra ride charges, etc. They aren't increasing wages in kind, guests don't realize how little employees they're paid in relation to the workload or expertise, and how much Disney expects them to do on their own time that's required for work, and I'm not talking about the commute from home.
The $20 hours wage has in response to the housing market being out of reach out of 90% of the population. Who can make it in California when its $2000 a month for a studio apartment? You want it to be cheaper in CA? Then stop charging outrageous prices for everything in the name of corporate greed.
The $20 raise in California is a joke when McDonalds only give 3 hours of work a week because of it. Boycott McD.
Means Peltz made a correct decision to sell his stock and walk away.
Someone told me that Disney had sold both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure for 7.5 billion to six flags . I don't know if it is true or not.
Employees striking because of an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP), can’t be fired. (The Union pin issue.) Employees striking over wages can be permanently replaced. (Fired)
They have to be smart and use the legal system when declaring a strike.
If Disneyland is going on strike i want to join, or somewhat support them, even though I don’t work there
Butchers bakers don't forget the candlestick makers. Bro you guys got me dying over here.kinda fellas you sit smoke a cigar have a cocktail and bs with
For all the trains being out-of-order, Disney will figure out really quickly to start buying buses for the disgruntled guests AND the late-working employees.
Front Loading a contract is a huge thing because of the compounding of money.
Igar is BAD-MAN, hope he gets replaced soon.
Can you speak English, maybe you need to watch more Mickey Mouse club house
He will
@@animezilla4486 I remember seeing People cheer when he returned to Disneyland and wondering why people just don't get how bad he taken away and how little he has put back into the park.
My father retired from the Plaster's Union. I am a member of a Teacher's Union. I cannot cross the picket lines of a Disneyland Strike!
I can. Unions outlived their usefulness before WW2. I cannot stand them, will never be a member, and want them destroyed.
That being said, not going to Disney.
6:12 Toon Resistance Logo? They couldn't have just turned it around?
I love the only smart choice the supreme court has made recently is.
California: minium is now raised to 19.99 an hour.
Disney: we don't have to raise our wages we are disney.
Takes it to the supreme court
Supreme Court: No
Disney: But
Supreme Court: just no get out of here Disney
There will be less and less employees hired at those wages. Only the most talented will survive. If that's the case, then the customers will benefit, and all the bad shows and poor service will disappear. 🤣
Love this channel. God keep blessing you Pro and all members of the Pro channel
Shut down disneyland????
For how long!!!??? It better not be permanent, what would the world do without Disneyland!!!!????
😅😅
Knotts Berry Farm? 😊
😂😂 Universal Studios?
@@avarice.karmageddonor that
I can’t live without Disneyland, it was everyone’s childhood (including mine) and to see it go through an apocalypse had me worried about it’s fate.
Having been totally abused by corporations In the past, I am not against the idea of unions. Businesses will absolutely take advantage of you if you let them.
That being said, a union only really works in the right industry, unsure how low skilled, minimum wage theme park attendants can really throw any kind of weight around
Volume. They can’t possibly replace 14,000 workers. Honestly they can’t even replace 1/2 those. Replacement workers are usually much more expensive than their regular counterparts. If they were in a place like Mississippi where poverty is much higher with lower costs of living then maybe they could replace them but not in California with California costs.
Agree, having been in similar work in both union and non union.
Nobody "lets" a business take advantage of them; they know you have to eat and pay bills and it takes time to find another job...so companies abuse, bully, overwork and under-pay employees as SOP. Their employees have to adhere to very strict rules, a lot of them have specialized skills and extensive training and guests expect cast members to be perfect in all interactions, and magical. Then when employees try to get some relief by organizing, the company uses good will (that only exists because of the employees) demonizes them and gets the public on their side...it's clearly worked on you!
Great topic I want to hear more Pro.
Should have stuck with products and stories that sell instead of garbage culture war virtue signals that don’t make $$$.
I live California and everything is high. I’m really too leave California. The RENTS r very very high.
When I worked at Dland stores in 2001 I was making less than minimum wage when factoring in union dues.
If the cast members goes on strike, I’m blaming on you WDWPro! You’re trying to set things up for Disney to go bankrupt! Good luck on that! Because that’s not going happen! Seriously dude! Get help! And that goes for all of you!😡
When you waste your entire pile of money on some amateur fanfiction that's inspired by everything but the franchise it names itself after. Watch them feign surprise
Anyone watching Disney stock this past week? It's up & down like a Yo-Yo and for me, whilst I really don't know, it looks as if someone or some thing, is propping-up the stock and it's costing that some thing a LOT of money!
Given there's very little actually happening with Disney, what on earth is making the stock so volatile. Not just at days end but, it's bouncing-around by the hour!
Come on fellers, what's happening? We know 'The Acolyte' is the 'News' right now so whassup with the stock?
Inside information, this strike is to protest unfair labor practices, mainly wearing the unofficial mickey fist pin, this strike has nothing to do with the contract.
5:00 Lew Wasserman's Ghost lol
To counteract the workers going on strike, why do I see Disney going full Lies of P?
I appreciate the restraint with the opinions about strikes as some of the language by some of the panelists tends to sound like parroting each others viewpoints.
If this is true I would be very sad. I’m going to Disneyland for the very first time in August.
Guys, you might want to add when your RUclips show times to your website
Oh no... don't do that...
I'm sure it'll be extremely noticeable when the strikes are going on?
If only the higher up’s had minded the little things by having multiple costumes of each character so that one or two can be properly cleaned or maintained.
Interesting that you guys seem to think that folks who work regular jobs at Disneyland can afford to get their cars washed.
Schools out for disney....😂😂😂😂
Yas Yaaaaas
"its not the disney look".... firstly does disney have a look anymore... yeras ago it was celuloide and cartoon... no who knows... seconfly... its a mickey hand... how much more disney could it be
Dude ...unions ARE NOT INHERENTLY COMMUNIST...capitalism can only work if there is GOODWILL TOWARDS YOUR WORKERS....businesses forget owners and investors aren't the only vital cog in the machine....the worker is screwed at every turn.
The next Disney earnings call is in 33 days.
I wonder how long the strike will last
People mock unions, but don't think about what they have done for everyone! You wouldn't have a 5 day work week, overtime pay, your place of work could be less safe, etc... is there bad unions out there? Of course there is, but there are good unions out there too.
I wonder how long the Disney
coffers can withstand karma and consequences. I'm actually trying to recall the last time they had a W. Been L after L after L.
Inside Out 2 is the last Disney win and Deadpool 3 has a good chance for another win. But otherwise Disney still lives from the parks, while their movies and Disney+ is dragging down the results.
Just in time for my aug 6 trip perfect
They should have to give Disney money if the movie lost money the characters writers should pay for the loss as it was there fault
Hey Kids
Come over here

Disney
Yall im going in August this better not affect my vacation
Have fun with this one BOB
Sorry not from the states and I don't really get how union is communist?
I mean communist is when the government dictate what is everyones salary, it's when the CEO earns the same as his driver.
As I see it uniuns are the most capitalist thing, it's an organization that maximize the negotiation power of the union members to get a better worth for the goods they sell (their work).
What is the difference between this and buyers union, or any trade union? It's all about demand and supply after all.
Pro sounds like he's phoning it in, literally. Was this a location report? Don't take this the wrong way, but you shouldn't undervalue your voice in terms of your success, I'm missing the soothing sonic overtones that your rich voice possesses naturally; that this microphone isn't able to capture. Thankfully the spirit was on his usual deadline
The guy's destroying this company.
Isn’t Florida a Right to Work state… 🤔
This strike is referring to the california park.
@@13evilbunny666 it was sarcasm, Unions can’t pull that crap on Disney World in Florida, but Iger has burned that bridge with our Governor…
Is there any chance that Disney land is sold off to save money?
Hey Bob ,what did Elon tell you Bob? Was it FU BOB?
The best thing about pro is I know I can start the video, let it run, go to the bathroom and when I come back he is about to get into what the video is about.
The strike is about "safety"?! No no no, definitely not.
As somebody who had no choice but to work for the Mouse for two miserable decades before become one of the many Igor "earmarked for deletion" last year, as he had bragged to the press, I can most definitely assure you that "safety" is not first and foremost what's on Disney employees' minds, and that anyone who tells you otherwise is either severely misinformed or believing what the Mouse themselves want the public to believe, and it's no laughing matter, especially when it comes to Walt's legacy.
As an animator and character designer who was down on his luck during the recession, I was one of the many who was forced to work for Disney all those years ago simply because - like many of the original animators back in the Great Depression - we had nowhere else to go. I had to do it against my better judgement, as I knew all too well all the horror stories regarding working for modern Disney for ages, especially from friends who had worked for them in various departments. I tried my best to put on a happy face about it, hoping that maybe it would be better than what I had heard. But after a year's period of time, it was clear that modern Disney was far, far worse than even all the warnings I had ever heard.
Now, all unions are corrupt by nature. You're automatically union, unfortunately, the moment you're hired for Disneyland. And you're caught between two evils duking it out with you caught in the center and receiving the abuse from both.
First and foremost, you learn within a year or so that in all departments of the company that there's only one bottom line with modern Disney:
It doesn't matter how good a job you do.
It doesn't matter how much you want to please management.
It doesn't matter how much you follow the rules.
It doesn't even matter how much your work entertains and delights others, much less how many compliments they give you.
The one and only bottom line Disney follows is, "Has this person been working for us longer than six months". The moment the answer is "yes", then you are automatically earmarked for firing.
They will literally chase you all around the floor looking for any excuse to try to yank you into the office, any lie at all, to try to get you into enough trouble to fire you. And the unions are pathetic in their attempts to "defend" you; it's all about them, not you.
Disney will look for every excuse in the world to deliberately pay everyone below the legal minimum wage, and they always get away it because of their powerful clout. Many of my friends were living in their cars, none of us could afford such things as going to the dentist, and everyone I knew including myself were heavily dependant on food banks and local churches to help put any food on the table at all.
The worst of the abuse is directly aimed at people who had been with the companies for years, and Disney has openly admitted they specifically now target conversatives for firing, especially Christians. They want everyone with a sense of traditional morals "weeded out", as they put it, from the company. They only want others exactly like themselves, the ruling majority being aggressively anti-conservative.
It was hell. Sheer hell.
Word had managed to reach them that I myself was a Christian, and from the stunts they kept pulling on me alone I had never felt so harassed on a job in my entire life, and I've been working jobs since the early eighties.
Worse, other companies are reluctant to hire you when you have Disney on your resume because the local stereotype is that Disney workers are stupid and braindead. I couldn't find work anywhere else no matter how hard I tried, and neither could any of my friends except one who lucked out.
Even worse, early last year Disney completely revamped their attendance system to make it far, far easier to trip CMs to and get them fired, by admission. This on top of the many childish stunts they have attempted trying to pull on staff trying to trip them up, such as the time they deliberately changed all the clocks in the company area I worked in to be completely different from one another, including the punch in/out computers, hoping the workers would accidentally punch out wrong and give them an excuse to haul them into the office.
And now, the unions want to strike, and that was everyone's worst nightmare they hoped never to see. Disney unions at, say, Disneyland will *not* pay you to strike. You're on your own without income. And the friends I have who are still there are all scared to death.
A longtime friend of mine older than myself, who is supposed to retire next year, called me up the day she learned of the strike vote, one of their best workers whom they've targeted for years, and she is absolutely hysterical with fear. If they strike and she participates, she will lose her home and be out on the street as she has literally no family, no living relatives to help her. But on the other, if she crosses the picket line, as all of my friends there plan to do should the strike happen, well I'm sure we all know how unions act towards union members who cross the picket lines no matter how desperately they need to keep working.
So that's just a small portion of the nightmare of working for the Mouse; I could fill a book with it. The things that Disney bends over backwards to make sure the press won't report. The things that would have Walt appalled if he were alive today. Walt could be gruff, but of course he was never like this.
Modern Disney is exactly what Walt feared his company would turn into after his passing. And it is a living hell.
They are gonna hurt people going to Disneyland that saved up all year just to take there kids to protest i cant where something and m pay is to low and i dont want to chnage and make things better for myself to find a job that suits my lifestyle and pay i need
All cast members should equally go on strike the parks can completely close to the world for a beautiful magical miracle
Why do you think the prices are always going up!!.. Strikes every 6 months!!
Most people who work at Disneyland do not live in the area it is to expensive to live within at lest an hour of the park if not hour and a half. Add up gas and time to get to and from work and then try to feed your family. Give the workers a break. You are being very unfair.
Exactly - thanks 🙏🏼 100%
…or choose to seek employment closer to home.
That's funny it's the employee's that caused all the problems during our visit , charged. Twice. Then I had to grab the keys away when he dangled them in front of me.
The raised fist was also a common fascist symbol.
@@alancranford3398 The raised fist is an anti-fascist symbol. 🤣🫵🏻 It’s tied to the labor movement.
@@davidlandrum Yup. Read about the Italian and French fascists--labor syndicates.
@@alancranford3398 You must have misunderstood those concepts.
@@davidlandrum It's always you misunderstood never wow maybe you are correct
@@cendresaphoenix1974 Yes, I am correct. I’m glad you considered changing your opinion based on new information I provided. 👍🏻
Have either of you glib guys worked at the Disneyland parks? There ARE safety issues at the park. I have a relative who worked candymaking in both parks and Downtown Disney and there were many situations where safety was ignored to a serious degree, which included a coworker being trapped in a kitchen for hours due to a broken door knob that had been reported weeks earlier and neglected until this happened.
Safety has been ignored in Orlando as well. The new drone show at Disney springs had the most concerning crowding I’ve ever seen as someone who has been going for 20+ years

I wonder if these clowns know that pretty much anyone could do their jobs.
I’d invite you to do their jobs and make magic for us :)
Funny how socialism and communism are seen as “far right” ideas but the left is RRREEEEEAAAALLLLLLYYYYY good about pushing for those ideas.
That intro song was oh so beautiful to my ear holes. 🖤🖤🖤
I nearly died that how bad it was
@@Mochichu-w6b your ignorance shouldn't be something you're proud to display...
poor overworked unhappy park workers with less opened up shops, the guests are going to purchase less goods and less park attractions to play with
If they do I might take a vacation to just outside Disneyland and watch. 😂😂😂
Your sad
@@Mochichu-w6b The sad one is you, isn't it? Perhaps you stunk at Grammar 101.
