Disney Florida Workers Seeking 20% Pay Hike Report Almost No Savings

"A union seeking higher pay for Walt Disney Co. theme-park employees in Florida released a survey that shows hospitality workers are struggling to make ends meet. Nearly half of the 2,415 Unite Here Local 737 members surveyed in October said they have skipped meals during the last year because they didn’t have enough money. Two-thirds said they have less than $100 in savings. The workers, who are employed by several companies, including Disney, have been hit hard by the rising cost of living, the union said Thursday. The union is seeking an $18-an-hour minimum wage in talks with Disney."
