Just days after calling the pay of Disney's top brass"insane," the granddaughter of company co-founder Roy Disney wrote an opinion piece in the Washington Post, in which she acknowledged she"struck a nerve with a Twitter thread about wage inequality at the Walt Disney Co.""I believe that Disney could well lead the way, if its leaders so chose, to a more decent, humane way of doing business," she wrote in a piece published Tuesday.
25-an-hour federal minimum wage: Workers at its Florida resorts will make $15 per hour by 2021, while employees at Disneyland in California had their pay increased to $15 an hour at the start of this year. But Abigail Disney said that's not enough."This argument fails to acknowledge that the cost of living varies from place to place and few can make do on that, no matter where they live," she wrote.
I love this, woman!
Why not give the bottom 10 percent a raise instead
If they have contracts she cant do that
Hopefully she’s pushing for a yearly bonus plan & not just a one time feel good gesture. Cause not sure if doing it right why you wouldn’t just do if for certain amount of years & not mentioning to press
Now THAT is a step in the right direction! The board of directors will never DO it; but at least the idea has been put out there!
Good for her
I can live pretty comfortably with 300k (USD) a year. I'd definitely use the rest of my millions to make every body eat a food 🇯🇲
Whats she doing to help the poor? Has she given away her inheritance? If not she should shut up. Go on a diet and practice what she loudly preaches.
Yeah, to all those working minimum wage at their Disney stores, expect just about 50p extra, if my calculations are correct
or lower ticket prices
200,000 employees may receive enough to get a regular priced ticket into a Disney park...
All she had to do to earn her wealth was be born. She generates nothing.
Did she declare this from her mansion or yacht
“Abigail Disney wrote that while she believes that executives deserve bonuses, the 'people who contribute to its success also deserve a share of the profits they have helped make happen.' 🙌🏻
Lol. I like the CEO, has done well for shareholders over the years. If we do that, we will lose him and other firms will sign him up. Can’t do that.
Why are we supposed to care about her opinion. She didn’t found Disney. She’s just the spoilt and non productive outcome of two generations of Disney ejaculation
👍
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.' Walt Disney Now.....pursue your passion, your truth, your love, your vision!!!!!
Good for her!
Good idea
Good luck with that
Honest question — has she led by example, say, by donating a significant portion of her inherited Disney wealth to its lower paid workers?
No collusion the president is exonerated
Disney has a unique opportunity to change the public view of corporate structure. Something tells me they're going to fuck it up and pay their richest employees anyway
In order to access decent healthcare in America, you have to be very rich. How disgusting isn't that? In order to obtain a higher education you have to be rich. Equally disgusting.
Disney: She is a bit late,but tries to correct what is destructive to real creativity: chasing money instead of inspiration.Her grandfather made unusual choices, from the heart. Money was not the aim, just the means.Disney now, is not connected to the real source of inspiration
daniel_fung not gonna happen, but salute for trying!
She is a compassionate woman
Same old issue. They arent gonna sac their bonuses, theyre gonna jack up $ to pay for whatever they do give. Oh and theyll call themselves heroes for doing so.
She’s a hero.
She's a badass.
It Doesn’t Cost Anything To Show Love. 💯
Break Disney apart. Bring it back to Walt's traditional vision 'Dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world'.
