Disney Settles Massive Wage Theft Lawsuit - The Logical Leftist
The House of Mouse has settled a suit from its workers over stolen wages.
====================
The Walt Disney Company agreed to settle California's largest wage theft lawsuit, costing $233 million, with Disneyland workers on Friday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The lawsuit was first raised five years ago, after the workers alleged that Walt Disney Co. ignored the city of Anaheim's minimum wage law.

More than 50,000 current and former Disney employees are covered in the settlement, and the back pay owed to those workers from January 1, 2019, to when Disney adjusted wages last year amounts to around $105 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.
