More than 25,000 current and former employees of Disneyland have entered into a class action suit against the Walt Disney Company, alleging that they’re being underpaid. The suit, filed in 2019, was just granted class-action status in July in the Orange County Superior Court.
Workers allege that Disney is receiving tax breaks from Anaheim, and that under a city ordinance requiring any business receiving subsidies from the city to pay a living wage, its Cast Members are entitled to higher pay. Under Measure L, voted into law in 2018, those businesses were required to pay employees $15 per hour when it was passed, increasing to $18 by 2022, plus subsequent cost-of-living increases.
