I have just been reading mice chat and there is a possiblity of a strike at DL. Can anybody tell me of the likely effect on my impending holiday?

AFMom said:I have heard the benefits there are pretty under-par, and the pay is low. I believe the consensus there is you don't work there for the money - you work there becuase you love it. Sad - because you'd think the WDComplany could afford to pay well. And holding on to good CM's should be a priority.
30 hours is pretty much the norm. I know that our insurance company's won't cover our employees that do not work at least 30 hours a week.WatchinCaptKangaroo said:Management wants to make the minimum hours worked in order to get benifits higher (I think it's 25 and management wants to make it 30). Pay is not an issue at this time nor is Presentiseem (being *forced* to work your scheduled shift).
No one really knows for sure if there will or will not be a strike. But at this time they are training management and those in administration as back ups. From what I hear, it is not going too well though.joanne1968 said:I didn't really mean to get into the whys and wherefores of the strike here, I wanted to know the likelihood of it and how it would affect me, selfish I know.
I took a Disney training class a few years ago and the trainer told us that at WDW at that time they were dealing with 34 different unions.THEDISFANS said:Yes a major strike did happen when walt was still around. Thats when the studio workers got a union. I don't know if the park workers belong to a union
