The Master Services Council—a 14,000-member strong union coalition of Teamsters, UFCW, SEIU, and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) at Disneyland—have almost unanimously ratified a strike authorization vote as of yesterday. This sets up the possibility of the first strike action at a Disney theme park (at least in America) since 1984.

From the Master Services Council through their Disney Workers Rising campaign:

Breaking Alert: Tentative Agreement Reached on our Disney Contracts

We have fought hard for the past four months and this tentative agreement would not have been possible without the strength we showed this past week with our rally and Unfair Labor Practice vote.

We achieved our goals – a 3-year contract that contains significant wage increases for all cast members, seniority increases and additional premiums as well as the retention of premiums. We also addressed issues that will make the attendance policy work better for cast members.

With personal actions like wearing our union button and signing a petition to massive 1,000-person rallies and worldwide news coverage, we have shown Disney that we are the true magic makers of the park.

We stood up to the company’s unfair labor practices and showed them that we were willing to do whatever it took to get the contract we deserved. Our solidarity and victory today sends a message to workers everywhere – when we fight, we win.

Next Steps: Remember, this is a tentative agreement. It is not final until you vote to accept it.

We believe this three-year agreement meets our needs and delivers us the wages, seniority increases, premiums, and protections we deserve, but nothing is final until we all have a chance to review the offer and vote on it.

The ratification vote will be on July 29, so we'll see what happens then.
