Overview

• Orange County Superior Court Judge William Claster granted final approval last week, concluding the 2019 class-action case over Disneyland’s compliance with Measure L.
• The $233 million agreement, which unions say validates years of organizing, sets in motion back pay with interest and penalties for over 50,000 current and former employees.
• The dispute stems from 2018’s Measure L; an appellate court ruled the law applied to Disneyland and the California Supreme Court declined review in 2023.
• Workers’ attorney Randy Renick has characterized the deal as possibly the largest wage-and-hour class settlement in California history.
• Disneyland says the matter is nearing resolution and that nearly 96% of cast now earn over $22 an hour, above the current $20.42 Measure L minimum.
