    Honestly, while that’s good, I still think it’s not enough. It takes effect over 3 years and still barely beats out McDonald’s.

    I’m concerned they don’t respect long term cast members enough and this will probably, once again, reset their pay to the same as newly hired employees. 50 cents an hour extra for working there 10 years is a pittance.

    Specialty locations are probably still getting paid 25 cents more an hour (which might have been meaningful when wages were under $10/hr.

    I wonder if their pay premium for leads has increased from the $1.50/hr that it was.

    I will say that pay alone is only a small portion of what those contract negotiations should be.
