Largest US strike so far this year could take place if negotiations, including over wages, fail next week
Members of four unions representing 14,000 workers at the Disneyland in Anaheim, California, have voted to authorize a strike amid contract negotiations.
The vote does not mean the workers will go on strike yet, but that the unions can call a strike at any point. If a strike takes place, it will be the largest strike so far in 2024.
“We have given the company more than enough time to do the right thing,” the unions, under the collective Disney Workers Rising bargaining committee, said on X after the vote.
Disney Workers Rising said that if Disney does not seem prepared to agree with the union after two more days of bargaining, “we will move forward with the actions we need to take”. The next meetings are scheduled for 22 July and 23 July.
