Union protesters seeking higher wages for resort workers march on Disneyland gates

Disneyland Resort workers staged another protest Thursday, the same day Anaheim officials announced an initiative to raise some workers’ wages has enough signatures to appear on the fall ballot.

The ballot measure backed by resort workers’ unions would raise the minimum wage at the resort and hotels that receive tax subsidies from Anaheim.

About 150 workers marched to Disneyland’s gates banging drums and chanting, “They make the money; we make the magic,” as park visitors watched with curiosity or bewilderment.

“We want Disney to realize that we’re asking for fair wages, the ability to have a good job and be able to support ourselves,” said custodian Martin Gonzales, 51. He has worked for Disney for 17 years.
