Part 4/6:
While Disneyland maintains that their current staff earnings meet the requirements of Measure L, with 95% making above the minimum pay of $19 per hour, the settlement's approval by a judge is yet to come. If finalized, employees can expect to receive an average of about $3,600 in back wages and interest each.
For workers like Leavitt, this settlement is more than just a financial remedy; it symbolizes justice and accountability for corporations that neglect labor laws. Leavitt highlighted how Disney employees provide essential services that enrich people's lives, emphasizing that it is “unacceptable” for employees to struggle to make ends meet while working for such a globally recognized company.
