Corporate America is very late in embracing the $15/hr. That salary is no longer sufficient after the huge inflations after Covid and Big Oil GREED. Some seem to forget what has occurred since 2019. If a person can not live on that income, then they should strike for better wages.

96% voted for strike. Spring is coming Disney - how much are you willing to lose to prove that you are jerks towards employees.

Eh it’s a minority of their workers, mostly low skilled and younger folks per another poster. I’m not sure Disney is really feeling the heat right now based on the article. Plus most of them are getting food and housing free per another poster.

How do you know they're mostly low skilled?

Well they’re low-wage and hourly which is usually a pretty strong indicator. They work in hospitality which has very few trade certifications or pathways for skilled positions, at least in the theme park context. I think it’s pretty obvious they’re low skilled.

Not really.

Not having trade certifications, doesn't make someone low skill though.

It's not. You just have a narrow idea of what it means to be skilled.

I appreciate the point you’re trying to make but “low skilled” is a federally defined professional circumstance and includes on-the-ground hospitality workers.

I don't care how the BLS describes workers.

At which a point you’re stuck with unfounded opinions not worthy of much consideration

That's fine. I'd rather not waste time discussing what is/isn't a skill, with someone who uses the fed government's opinion on the subject.

Carry on
