Boing Boing Staging

Avengers: Endgame made $1.2B last weekend and Bernie Sanders wants Disney to spend it on raises that will give all their employees a middle-class wage


Disney CEO Bob Iger made $65.6M last year, 1,424 times that of the median Disney employee (a situation that Walt Disney’s grand niece called “insane”) — and last weekend, Disney’s movie Avengers: Endgame broke all opening records, bringing in $1.2B.


Bernie Sanders — who helped Disneyland employees win a $15 minimum wage last yearhas a proposal for Disney’s windfall: share it with Disney’s lowest-waged workers and guarantee everyone who works for the company (which made $9B in profits last year) a middle-class wage.
