Yadira Damacio was among scores of Disney employees who visited an October food bank hosted by Workers United Local 50. Disney workers such as Terrazas, eligible for patron tips, are currently paid an hourly rate of $15.50 an hour, the state’s mandated minimum wage. For eligible Disney workers, back pay will date to January 2019, when the law took effect. At the time, the lowest-paid workers at Disney’s Anaheim properties were making $11 an hour, then the state-mandated minimum for large employers. Low-wage workers at Disney’s Anaheim theme parks are in line for major salary boosts after the company lost a long-running legal battle to circumvent the city’s living-wage ordinance.
