NEGOTIATION RECAP 05/16/2023

Thank you to all the Cast for all you do From Day 1 we presented everything we wanted from the beginning START OF session 1 We met with the company for our first session at 10:45am. The company presented 4 Items about Festivals, Carthay Circle and Specific Conversions and Reclassification, and 1 unchanged item about tip average We told Disney because they haven’t shared their wages and pay, we are not able to make a decision on any more of their proposals until they bring up wages and pay. After session 1 We talked to the cast about Disney’s presented items and heard about their concerns and how they would be personally impacted. We also wanted to take the time to talk to our cast and not only about what Disney presented but about the everyday issues START OF session 2 We met with the company for the second session at 3:15pm Disney finally mentioned they were working on a full proposal. Disney has also mentioned hiring from the outside. Our union believes that the Cast is what makes the parks live Again we shared with the company that because they haven’t shared their wages and pay, we are not able to make a decision on any more of their proposals. We also asked questions about the company's proposal for CR availability such as how is it going to affect FT cast members? Will the company still accommodate school schedules? Can a CR employee switch between 7 day availability and weekend availability? Disney was not able to provide answers to all our questions. START OF session 3 Disney presented us with a comprehensive package. The union and cast have much to think about.
