- July 19 Disneyland Cast Member Unions voted to give strike authorization privileges to the Union. What does that mean for you and your vacation.
If you want to go to disney but don't want to go to Disneyland you can go to Disney World they are having an amazing sale click here for that: tinyurl.com/pp...
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Excuse me for real?,how is that
possible I have struggling
financially, how was that possible?
Thanks to Elizabeth Marie Hawley.
Though I started with as low as $15,000 actually because it was my first time and it was successful, She's is a great personality in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Elizabeth Maria Hawley) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Elizabeth Maria Hawley on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
We all think differently and have different thoughts and beliefs. How boring would it be if we didn't? You took a very complicated situation and explained it very well.
Just want to say I respect you even more than I did before. Disagreement with someone does not mean they immediately need “canceled”.
You’re a good guy, keep on going!
Cali adventure attractions cast member here. Awesome video first off. I wanna say first off i don't know much about cm's on Disneyland side, however over on DCA I find that attractions cast members are very united in support of a strike. There is alot of talk Backstage about it. Cm's getting second jobs to cover the time off, selling their stuff for extra money etc etc. We at attractions (at least in the grizzley peak area where I make magic) also have a great relationship with our custodial, food and beverage, and merchandise. cm's and from what I hear they seem to be just as united as we are, even if not all of them are involved in this possible strike. Now as far as us being pulled to work shifts at Disneyland, the issue is mainly training. For attractions, depending on the ride there is typically 3-5 days of training to learn everything, and the normal trainers for these rides will not be working due to their strike. So management or someone else that has knowledge would have to do the training. I find it hard to believe that they would be able to train the required amount of cm's in such a short time. And with these viruses going around i expect alot of sick day callouts in the coming weeks. On top of that cm's may have a hard time understanding these new attractions and not do well on our first performance assessment and need extra time to train. All im saying is Disney has a tough task ahead of them as you said yes, this is a very complex issue and I for one am excited to see what happens in the coming weeks.
I appreciate what you wrote. I commented so much, then deleted. I'll just say I've heard only two days training, many from TDA, and that's not nearly enough for safety. Isn't that the first key? If we do strike, and you're asked to cross over, contact the union first for documentation.
@@elizabethsalvage4338 Yeah good question. Unfortunately I cant go far into detail about alot of stuff legally but ill try and answer your question as best as I can, but again this is only from the limited info I have so things could be different in other work locations. So as far as training goes yes, in my opinion it is too short. From what iv seen 3 days of training is avg for a attraction. However depending on how complex the attraction is the training can be longer or shorter. There is an inherent risk of safety to both us as ride operators and the guests if the ride is operated in a manner inconsistent with the operators guide. each ride is different in the way its operated to simple things like the way the queue should flow to complex things such as how to recover entrapped guests in the event of the ride breaking down for whatever reason. I want to say that our trainers are simply fellow cm's that have applied to train new cm's on the ride and all of them are highly qualified for the job. they are also not leads inherently, however some can be. But I wanna put it out there that they are not the issue, the issue is from above, in the amount of time they are allotted to train new cm's. If I had any say, id want at least 2 more days of training per ride, to give new (usually nervous and overwhelmed cm's) time to really understand what to do in any scenario, but sadly thats just not how it works currently. I have little to no contact with people in TDA, in fact the last time I went in their building was for my first day, so i have no idea what things are like on their end. Anyway TLDR yes there are dangers in our job, i wish there was longer training times but there isnt, and as far as us dca cm's getting pulled to disneyland we will need to wait and see what happens.
Bravo, Chris. I believe that one of the most important things we can teach our children is that disagreement does not mean dislike! Kudos to you for being brave enough to speak your opinions. I love your videos. Thank you! 💕
Thank you. 💚💚💙💙
I appreciate your calming perspective and just the facts attitude. You rock! Fingers crossed that an agreement is reached soon. Ps glad that you survived the animal attack!
I love you Chris. Great job explaining!!! And yes, lets all be friends even when we disagree.
Thank you for explaining the nooks and crannies of the strike. It gave me a better picture of what is happening. I hope they find a happy medium for both sides. I appreciate it😊
I hope you reconsider not going to the strike. We need unbiased filming of this disney history. You don't need to make any of your opinions but the media is going to lie to us. Thank you for these videos ❤
Thanks for the video Chris! Also, its kinda fun reading the comments from all the people far smarter than I on the issue. I wish the cast members the best and hope it works out but im not going to pretend like i know enough to weigh in. I will be attending from out of state in August whether there is a strike or not. My hope is that things get settled for all the families involved from those working in the industry to those hoping to attend at an affordable rate.
Thank You Chris for saying that if you don’t have an annual pass and this vacay is already paid for, you should still go !!! I’m a teacher and it’s been more than a challenging year! Needless to say my husband, Daughter and I have been looking forward to this trip (which includes San Diego and the LA/Hollywood area) . Love your videos and the shirt and tie combos !
Chris keeping it 100% real, honest, and easily understandable, as always! Truly appreciate the breakdown and info, yes!! LOVE the colors, btw! Yay! Also agree that it's OK to disagree, YES!! Keeping an eye on these developments because we DID get OBB tickets for mid-Oct. this year - FIRST TIME EVER - and WILL be going to DLR! But don't have our other park tickets yet and will need to watch what happens! As a public school union member myself, I appreciate the acknowledgement that negotiations and strike decisions are never an "easy" process and variables must be considered in any potential strike situation! CAN'T WAIT to watch your Yellowstone videos!!! My FIRST LOVE is Yellowstone, having the chance to work there 1 summer when I was in Grad school! What an AMAZING place! Thanks Chris!
Love your call to not believe everything you see on social media. Thanks for everything you do!
I didn't know until the last video how badly we were missing amazing shirts and ties! Thanks for the information, as always, and yes, you've got my vote for more exciting thumbnail fashion.
This is the best shirt you've ever worn. Chris, thank you for shedding some light on a complex issue.
It breaks my heart that cast members are struggling so much… I too as a Magic Key holder can go when I want… and although I have non-refundable plane tickets for August does not mean that I can’t change up my Southern California adventure if the strike is happening while I am there. I really appreciate you and all of your hard work. Your joy is what we need in this life! ❤
I, like you, Chris, am am a Magic Key Holder. I am also a former cast member at Disneyland. I was a member of one of the unions that voted to strike. I have worked every hour of the day. I enjoyed interacting with our guests. I get recognized when I am at Disneyland Park by Cast Members. I did spend most of my time working at Disneyland Park when it was closed. Because I know many cast members personally, I may reschedule the days that I will be visiting Disneyland.
Very, very well said! We just came back today from 2 nights at DL. Every single cast member was gracious and accommodating.
Well said Chris. No reason for a family to give up their plans and money. I just wish Disney and the Unions could come to an agreement for the benefit of both sides. And to do it without animosity or bad feelings during and at the end of this.
all on disney...just note BOB the CEO got his OVER 30 million in bonuses last year. then add a fast food burger flipper in the state might make more than a CM in the park now
Chris, your gift to explain in a decent and clear way these complicated issues is amazing. Also, your comment on being careful about avoiding to believe all you hear or read in social media applies to all matters. Thanks and greetings from Mexico
You nailed it, Chris! Thank you for sticking to facts, clearly explaining what is your opinion and calling for friendly discussion.
Your kindness is a big part of your channel’s appeal. Thank you, Chris, for being a good example for the rest of us! ❤
Thank you for being a voice of logic and reasoning. I have worked in both the public and private sector of business I have owned a business with a physical location(s) and currently own a small online business and I have a degree in business administration. What I have learned with that and with personal experience is that there is side A side B and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. This isn't out of malicious intentions just our own inherent biases. These issues are not easy to fix. As a public traded company the reality is that you have an obligation to thoes share holders. If someone doesn't want that then they need to be a full funded private company or a non-profit. Even as a non-profit there are obligations that need to be met. The fact is Disney is neither of them they are a publicly traded company. Please you can support the cast members without demonizing the people who are representing the management as well. You can support the cast members rights and still do what is good for you and your family and you should not be punished for it. If nothing else understand that not everyone will give you unbiased information and have your best interest in mind. So just be understanding that the complexity of business is far from a yes or no answer.
Thank you Chris for telling people it’s ok to disagree and can still be friends. I do however agree with your opinion. I am not a magic key holder - unfortunately - but if I did have a vacation planned with my grandchildren I would go. If we were a magic key holder we would wait. I do believe the cast members deserve more no question. Don’t believe a strike is the answer but I would still show them I support them. Wish it was an easy fix but it’s not as easy as people think it is. Thanks again Chris you truly are amazing
Love you Chris, thank you for all the information. I honestly can see this go either way, we loss money because people are standing with the cast members or Disneyland is so over crowded and people are not happy we need to bring those cast members back. So if you have a vacation planned I do say go, honestly either way you will be showing your support for the cast members.
Thank you Chris for the great information. As a union member myself I completely agree with you. My family and I will not cross picket lines. Hoping for a fair outcome 🤞🏽
As a former steward of 2 different unions, if a union DCA worker is told to go cover a striking workers position, no. Just no. Company is not able to order a union employee to cross a picket line to cover a strike, and the union member will be legally protected for refusing.
Thank you so much for continuing to post these updates. Please know it is sincerely appreciated. I have a first time DL trip for me and my daughter booked for next Tues, 30Jul from NC. I’m truly torn and in a panic about whether we should cancel. Once they have the meetings Mon-Tues, will we know soon after if they’ve come to an agreement? I’m really cutting it close with only one week before we are supposed to be there!
I love your tips on how to support the cast if you’re there and the eye strike. I’m actually from Idaho and have a trip planned in September and it’s all already paid for and so much non refundable. Regardless my kids and I are making friendship bracelets to show our love and appreciation for them
That is awesome!
Well done Chris. You always have great insight as to what’s going on in the parks. We have a trip booked for the last week in September. I hope things are resolved by then.
Part of the problem is living in California where the price of everything is so high that your living wage is not meeting the rising cost of everything. Hopefully Disney management can come to a good understanding and terms to help these great Cast Members that bring the Joy and Magic of Disneyland.
……and the ticket prices raise to $200 a day, with $50 daily parking. 🤷🏼♂️
@@eddieg6436 I understand raising prices that goes with any company who has to pay more taxes and other fees. Raising up to 200 is extreme, it can definitely come down to a reasonable price. The parking cost is ridiculous.
I really appreciate your handling of this issue. I wish more people had your attitude (not sure that is the correct wording ) sadly my health keeps me away from Disney right now so it isn’t a choice I’ll have to make. I don’t envy those that do. Thanks for your positive attitude and the information 🧡🖤🧡
Chris, thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion. I plan to go in October. I will not be changing my plans. I am not in favor of bully's. I am not in favor of gangs. To me, IMO, that is what unions are. They are a business. They make money off of these strikes. I found it interesting to hear about the buttons. I will enjoy my annual birthday trip, and if I need to cross a picket line, then I will cross with a smile. That is what Disneyland does to me. It makes me smile.
Ex-union CM here, used to work in merchandise and foods, they hire so many part time people that everyone works 8-16 hours per week and all those hundreds of people have to have second jobs. It could take a year or more to get full time depending on your department. They only allowed us to give away 3 shifts a year so it was hard to get a shift covered if you were sick (forced to use sick time) and no opportunity to pick up more hours. It’s really tough on everyone and almost everyone except few college students with no bills struggle.
We also only accrued 1 hour of sick time per 30 hours but if we only worked 12 hours a week…well you do the math, it would take forever to stack up enough sick hours to cover us. Disciplinary actions are taken if we have a certain amount of unexcused hours (its low).
If Disneyland cast members do strike, good union members of other unions do often choose to respect other unions’ picket lines and not cross them.
That's if permitted. Other unions have a no strike clause in their contracts, which since other unions aren't on strike they will have to go to work.
Thanks for explaining the situation! I been seeing a lot of people shouting those big numbers without context. While WDW is my home park, I still find this issue interesting (especially since WDW is fairly closely related and could get the idea to vote to strike too).
As a passholder, I will probably continue going to WDW unless a strike happens here, then I will likely stop going.
I have a trip planned coming up on Friday. I hate going if they are on strike but it’s too late to cancel. Thank you for all the updates!
Hello Chris from Anaheim California. Things are definitely concerning for the Disneyland Cast Members. One of our neighbors works for Disneyland transportation and he’s been working there 50 years now. He said he’s experienced strikes before and the main thing to remember is to not get overwhelmed with the Talk. Don’t stress, pray. We have talked about what we plan to do if the meetings this next couple days don’t come to an agreement between Cast Members and Disney corp. We have Magic key annual and like you, we can go when we want to later. As long as there is a strike, we will reconsider our plans.
Thank you for trying to help people understand what’s going on. Have a great week. Hi to Amanda and Miles 🤗👋👋💖🏰
It’s all about feeding the shareholders greed. That’s the world we live in now. Thanks for the info! You’re an awesome person
Chris, another informative video. The colored shirts look great and are a good idea to help us be informed about what type of video we are in for. Keep up the great work.
When you say the issue is complicated ... I disagree. Ceos don't need to make milions upon millions of dollars. They can afford to take a paycut, especially when cast members are the reason the parks are running and they can't afford a place to live. Ridiculous. Support the cast members!!
People over profits always.
It's complicated. Iger made $31.6 million last year. $3 million was in cash but the rest was in other compensation (like stocks). Fun fact, that's actually a tax loophole. His base salary is around $854k. But let's say the $31 million is cash that can be distributed to the 28k CMs. That would then mean that each CM pre tax would get $1,128/yr. Assuming that they work 40 hrs/week, 52 weeks a year, that's only a salary increase of $0.54/hr. That's not much. Slap on federal and state income tax, and it's barely an increase
I don't disagree that CEOs are paid insane levels. I don't disagree that CMs should get paid more. But the math behind "oh, if the CEO took a pay cut everyone else could make a liveable wage" doesn't work out. I personally believe the main issue is the demand of a market to always see quarter over quarter growth. Keep increasing revenue and keep operational costs down, such as wages
@@DavidOz316 all of the people at the top can afford to take a pay cut. Disney makes a profit and should be able to afford to pay their cast members. Yes, it's easy. They choose profit over people.
Hey Ex-Cast Member here for DL and DCA, they can't pick up and drop off cast members willy-nilly across park bounds at least when it comes to attractions, the parks kind of work as two separate ecosystems, and training from one attraction to another can take days to weeks depending on the attraction, they have to go through training, sign offs and getting manager approval.
"they can't pick up and drop off cast members " they do it all the time
@@wookieeMan06 Yes you can work for multiple attractions in one park but they cannot send you to one park or another without being covered by their training, their sceduling and their management staff, you are under a management team with attractions who has knowledge of those attractions, if you get sent somewhere else you have to be transfered there and be put under new management and trained by a new training team.
@@GearsofFallen they do it all the time,
@@wookieeMan06 Just curious what attraction do you work at that you jump attractions from one to the other?
What attraction takes weeks of training?
My brother is a part of the Starbucks union and so while I totally understand and am in support of the unions, I can't cancel my Disney trip. I haven't had a vacation in several years. I was in poverty for a long time before I finally got a job that could allow me to go back to Disneyland and experience all the new things at the parks. I think I'll take your advice and try to limit purchases in the park and just go for the experience. It's just not fair or logistical for me to just cancel my trip when it's something I've been looking forward to for years.
Big problem is the cast cannot afford to live nearby the park and the commute is getting too far away and expensive.
If Disney can’t find people to do the job, they will raise pay until someone qualified will take the job.
Was driving from San Bernardino county to Anaheim for work everyday. The commute costs alone were ridiculous let alone most cast members are priced out nearby the parks with rent/home prices.
@@robertescobar7781 yes drove from chino Hills to Anaheim 16 years. Liked being there but gas and expenses were getting to high found cheaper to stay home
No matter your opinion on the strike, it's so important to respect the cast members. They are the ones who bring the Disneyland magic that we get to experience, they're the ones who help us make those lifetime memories, and no matter how you feel about the strike or the situation there should be absolutely no hatred being spilled towards these human beings themselves.
I'll be traveling to Anaheim to go to Disneyland on July 29.. def not going to cancel.. we just decided we'll make the best of it, regardless! Thanks for all the info Chris!
Hey Chris, teamster member here. There is no way that if the workers in DTD and DCA are also in unions, that their locals will allow them to cross the picket lines. Talk about internal conflict. Management would be the only ones to run the park other than workers who elect to cross the picket lines. This may get very messy
We are traveling from Australia on August 8 to go to Disneyland
I agree with you not going when on strike Chris but we can’t cancel now
As a union maintenance worker my union protects my job description. My employer cannot ask me to sell tickets at the ticket window or to fill in for security. Those positions are out of my job description and the union protects that.
I strongly believe that a union workers at california adventure cannot be asked by their employer to fill the position at another location. That is exactly one of the reasons the union protects your job description.
Oh No! Another animal attack, like that black bird that attacked you at the Poly when you weren't wearing the white shirt and tie. Hope you're okay! We stand with cast members, they make the parks what they are, magical.
I appreciate you, Chris! Thank you for being who you are. 😊
I like the idea of the different coloured shirt . But it doesn’t matter what coloured shirt you wear we will watch you . But the colour looks great !!!
Solidarity with CM's, also a union member!
My family and I have had plans for months - I pray that "things" will settle by the time we arrive. I was taught to support the unions so crossing the picket line is out of the question but then losing thousands of dollars is out of the question too.
I agree whole heartedly, Chris. I agree with both about the strike and and the world being too negative. Stay positive and you are AMAZING!
It's very easy to have a conversation with your children about why you aren't going to Disneyland should a strike happen during your vacation. It's a conversation about values, our value to ourselves, our value as a consumer, and how we are valued by others. If you can't have that conversation with your kids, then corporations have won and that's the message you'll send to them. That you don't value other people who are struggling enough to support them, but instead buy into consumerism. Go to Universal Studios instead, go camping instead, create memories outside the Disney bubble so that the new generations understand the value of people and their ability to change things for the better. Or stuff your face with churros and put on a fake facade that you support cast members. Just remember, it can easily be you next.
Best comment on here. You touched on all the things I feel about the situation. I've been going to Disney parks since 1964 and I have never crossed the picket line even when I scheduled a vacation around Disney. There have been strikes at Disneyland where I decided instead to go to Knott's Berry Farm and/or other area attractions. There are plenty other alternatives in SoCal and Central Florida. I think supporting unions is the right thing to do.
Love the colored shirt. Agree that magic keys do not need to go to the park during the strike!
Love the color - I wouldn’t mind seeing more colored shirts as color brings out your features. I come from an auto union family (grandpa) and I support the union and hope they can get a better deal. ❤
We booked our trip over 12 months ago, we're travelling from Australia! We have been so excited, counting down the days until our visit in Aug/Sep. We aren't cancelling anything and hope that everything may be settled by the time we visit.
Same here
I am union in California l, and all areas of my workplace are about 3 different unions. When 1 union I'm the building goes on strike we all stop work and no union work is allowed.
as it should be. IMO when a union goes on strike, no other union should cross that picket line or service or attend to anything on that property.
Thank you for not crossing the picket line if they go on strike. I'm blocking any Disney influencer who does.
Thanks for breaking it down so impartially!
I agree with you. We can agree to disagree and keep being friends. There’s not enough in this world anymore. I do believe that those cast members are wonderful and deserve good wages and medical. They deserve that.
Totally with the cast members and support them. However, I do have a Disney trip in October that can’t be cancelled/rescheduled if a long term strike happens. Not only would I be out money and won’t be able to plan around the rest of my coworkers PTO for the year, this will be my sister’s boyfriend’s first time at Disneyland and since he is the military and getting restationed, this is the only chance he really has.
‘The Labor Theory of Value’ comes to mind in this situation.
Companies need to step up and take care of their employees bottom line. Good luck with Strike talk as it works for the auto industry folks. No one should be employed and been in poverty. We all know those executive don't have this problem. Best wish Chris and hope if there is a strike you don't cross the picket line and still enter the park. Show your support the right way.
Thank you for explaining how union strikes work and how the strike was NOT voted on by 99% of the union. I do think the cast members might hold off on striking until the upcoming D3 convention. That would put the greatest strain on the company and in the union’s eye make the greatest impact.
I'm part of the Teamsters Union and voted to strike on with out last contract. We didn't strike, but the company stopped playing around when we voted to.
how much better did you get paid?
Hello Chris of Park Pass hello from Orange County, California what your saying about DCA or Downtown Disney castmembers are they gonna be deployed to Disneyland park to fill in those spots?
My favorite color is red. I am a native of San Francisco and I am a big 49er fan. I love my teams' colors of red, gold and black.
Liked much of what you said, however a couple of points. First, I feel it is a bit presumptuous to assume all the union members who didn’t vote did so because they were fearful of retaliation. Some? Sure. But I can think of numerous other reasons that they may not have voted based on my experience as a union member in Las Vegas. Second, it’s possible that the union contract for California Adventures prevents union members from being shifted over to the other park or from being forced to cross a strike line. Is it Likely? No. But it is possible. Such language exists in our Las Vegas contracts.
I really like your idea of supporting cast members on strike with water and even verbal support. Also, canceling any purchases, including food in the Disneyland Park while cast members are on strike is a good idea.
Let’s hope the next couple of days of negotiation are fruitful.
The two parks have separate unions? That’s ridiculous!! You have to be united.
My First job was as a Graphic Designer in a Medical Teaching Department of a university in a hospital in the UK. I was only on a temporary 6 week contract (which I stretched it to 8 months and was on the brink of making it permanent). However 3 months in the Job, The staff's Union voted and called a strike day. But I couldn't strike because I was still a temp, i.e. sacked, but I couldn't work as the place was closed, so I had to take it off as a personal day. A fellow colleague almost blanked me until I boss explained it. I supported their right to vote for a strike, but I politely didn't agree with them. Also I have seen too many places where the really hard workers are paid lesser than those who blag there way through work.
The 5,000 that didn’t vote were from Disney’s California Adventure and Downtown Disney, because they are under a different contract and weren’t able to vote now. Their contract ends at the end of September.
And we’re all part of the same union, just a different contract. And the workers can question the company about having them cross picket lines, but can’t deny the change
Hi Sticksara. I’m responding just so people don’t get confused. The 5000 that didn’t vote are not DCA CMs. They are under a different union and could not vote in July 19s vote. So what you wrote was correct but, there are 14,000 employees for the Disneyland union. 5000 of the Disneyland union did not vote.
Attractions cast members can’t just go from Little Mermaid to Peter Pan without the full training of the ride. You can’t just show up there and start working. It probably takes 3-5 days of training. Otherwise that cast member can contact safety and show just cause that it’s unsafe for them to get moved without the proper training. And that would go for most positions there.
Thanks Chris! I feel better with your advice. We are out of state and have tickets from Getaway Today for this week.
Yes! Life is too short , to be upset over these things…
I agree we can agree to disagree!! Love that!
Ok side note I hope it wasn’t a 🦨 skunk 🤢😵💫😳😱 lol
Thx again for being level headed and giving us the facts… 😊
All I need to know is that the parks won't be closing because of these damn strikes. Can't stand these unions anymore, every day something else is closed because of a strike.
Thank you for being a voice of reason in an ocean of unreasonable sensationalism!
Magic key holder with three planned trips for the year based on three conferences attending so cheaper to get the pass, that said all three conferences are in later summer to early fall, so will be going. Love the water idea and will do.
This is the very first time I am going. I live in Utah and I’m taking my grandkids. So yes I will be going. But if I would’ve known more in advance I would’ve changed it.
Union employees for the most part do not cross other union lines. It’s always been a protection we have as union members. and you can not expect someone from another ride to come easily work a totally different ride. It takes training and guess who does the training. Trainers are approved cast members that have been signed off to be a trainer. The only people Disney can FORCE to work wherever they want are NON UNION employees such as plaids or salary employees
Thank you for the information, Chris!
I am a cast member who would have voted one way but was not able to because my shift was almost the entire time the vote was taking place (I started at 6:45 am and wasn't off until 5:30.) And I had plans for after work that I had committed to months in advance and couldn't get out of.So I wish this vote was held over more than just the one day. When we vote on the contract itself, we do so on site backstage so people who are at work can participate before,during or after work. I couldn't get to the offsite location where the vote was happening. Why do I bring this up? Because I think the reason they are saying 99 percent voted for it is because most people weren't going to go to the offsite location if they were voting No.
Uh, 🙄 how dare you be so level headed and informative! J/K J/K! 😜 Wonderful video! Keep up the awesome work! We love you here in Las Vegas! ❤
I'm glad for your common sense
I am logal no annual pass. I don't trust unions so I realize the cast members need more money but I will be going to Disneyland near end of August for my birthday whether they are on strike or not
I like the color shirt for high priority posts. Awesome!
Thank you for normalizing differences of opinions.
💙💚
I like the idea of taking 1/2 of the top 10% of excutive bonuses
We are too busy trying to categorize others by heroes and villains without realizing we're just trying to do the best we can to survive.
Love the different color shirts! White is bland.
It's actually very simple. Disney parks generate 70% of all revenue for the corporation so invest in those revenue-generating divisions.
Great explanation all around.
I haven’t heard the Acolyte comment before, but can I just say - I actually kind of like that idea? Let me explain.
Disney Parks have carried the company for the past few years. They’ve helped balance several other under-performing areas.
Acolyte has a budget around 60% of Avengers: Endgame. It included a series of small-stage scenes with 4 sets: a ship, the Jedi Palace room, a forest, and the coven.
The Cast Members are providing experiences and revenue. The Acolyte created overwhelmingly negative experiences and did not result in revenue.
Why are we paying the folks who REMOVE revenue that much money, while paying the folks who GENERATE revenue so little?
I don’t think it’s an unfair question or comparison.
Just food for thought! You’re certainly allowed to disagree. I hope this provides a certain point of view, as General Kenobi likes to call it. 👍
Ex CM here, '77-'84 (NO/BC Attractions. Teamster.) I currently have reservations for 3 nights at the Grand Californian in mid-September. I'm in three unions: SAG-AFTRA, AEA, and AGVA (even though I'm mostly retired.) I live in SoCal so I'm local. If the Disneyland employees don't have a new contract 30 days before our reservations, I'm canceling. I don't look forward to rescheduling, and I especially don't want to get up again at 6am for three days to get the dinner reservations we want....grrrr..... BUT I WILL. I will NEVER cross a union picket line.
Honestly the acolyte should have never been green lit. That money should have definitely gone back to reinvesting into the parks and its employees. If Disney brought back live performances at buzz light year dining area like they did in the 90s, guests would have enjoyed it rather than wasting it on a thin plot like the acolyte.
Just another thought… My husband is a union member for the airlines. We have a Disneyland trip in the calendar for the end of August. We are flying from New Jersey. If Disney cast members are on strike during the week we have planned to visit, we will not be coming to Disneyland. My family, out of respect for unionization and their members, will not cross a picket line of workers in front of park entrance. Those of us with plans to visit must remember and realize that we have to cross that picket line where those employees are rightfully protesting their employer’s treatment of them. It’s not a small thing and at least for my family, I’d rather plan my visit for another year than face those individuals fighting for better wages and treatment from Disney.
many guests wouldn't care, Disney cms are expendable
By not going what so ever, Wouldn't it just hurt the cast members that aren't part of this union, such as the DCA?
@@susanway7948 This kind of thought process ignores the opposite rational that it could also benefit those cast members when their contracts come up to negotiations.
@@wookieeMan06 No human should be relegated as "expendable". It's unfortunate that a lot of minds have been programmed to think that way. 😥
@@RayBosan62 but that's way of the world when it comes workforce resources
I feel for (and support) the cast members, especially when Disney (the corporation) has been boasting in previous quarterly earnings calls that they are profitable (with the intent of defeating Nelson Peltz's proxy battle).
Teamster family. If our vacation was planned during this we would respect the union and not cross the line to go. Never underestimate the union brotherhood regardless of their number.
What happened at Yellowstone, Chris - did a bear steal your pic-a-nic basket...?
It’ll be back tomorrow. 💙💚
Disneyland might not shut down or close but the customer experience is going to be effected. I'm pretty sure with the reservation system in place Disneyland hasn't over hired staff like in years previous to just have employees waiting on call for a shift. I'm just saying I'm glad I'm not going to the parks anytime soon and if I had a trip booked through Get away today I'd be asking for a refund and or rescheduling my trip to the Disneyland Resort.
