San Fernando Valley Burbank Walt Disney Co. has proposed to pay some of its unionized employees a minimum wage of $15 an hour by 2020 at the Disneyland Resort. The 36-percent increase over the three-year span of a contract offered to the Disneyland workers represented by the Master Services Council represents a significant increase at the Anaheim theme park. The Master Services Council is a group of four unions for more than 9,500 employees at Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney. The Burbank entertainment and media giant called the wage increase from $11 currently to a new minimum rate of $13.25 when the contract is ratified to ultimately $15 in 2020, one of the most aggressive in its history. The move comes at a time when Disney has been under fire for the wages paid to its employees, known as “cast members.” The Coalition of Resort Labor Unions, a group of more than 10 unions representing Disneyland workers, held a rally on June 2 with former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to advocate for a living wage. Disneyland Resort President Josh D’Amaro said in a statement that the company’s offer “confirms that working at the Disneyland Resort is not only a good opportunity today, but a pathway to growth opportunities and career advancement tomorrow.” Calabasas AmaWaterways has christened river cruise ship AmaLea with a ceremony in Vilshofen, Germany.

Simi Valley Allied Pacific Studios has signed with Simi Valley Waste Management to lease a 1,000-acre portion of the Simi Valley Landfill, located in unincorporated Ventura County, to develop as a movie ranch, according to a Simi Valley Acorn report. Under the agreement, Allied Pacific will lease the land for five years, with the option to purchase the property by term’s end. The parcel represents a third of the site’s 3,000 acres. For now, facilities will be temporary. However, should the studio decide to purchase the land, it will create permanent structures, according to Allied Pacific Managing Director Brian Gordon. The property east of the landfill is desirable because of its backdrops and its proximity to Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, where the six major studios are based. The deal follows five years of negotiations between Allied Pacific, Waste Management Inc. and Simi Valley officials. Allied Pacific Studios, which has filmed movies and television for such clients as Hallmark Channel, has been based in Simi Valley since 2003. Airborne Wireless Network has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct test flights with Cessna 172 aircraft. The Simi Valley telecommunications company will demonstrate its hybrid radio frequency-controlled and free space optics-linked proprietary technology to create a high-speed broadband network using commercial aircraft. The FAA approval allows the company to modify and install its equipment onto two Cessna 172 aircraft and outlines a proposed flight test routing and operating area. Chief Executive Michael Warren called the FAA’s action a significant milestone for the company to begin its first-of-a-kind demonstration. “The goal of this demonstration is to test how quickly the company’s patent-pending algorithms can resynchronize the optical link and transfer large data files,” Warren said in a statement. “Our sophisticated software technology will be used to take thousands of samples and calculate the precise location of each aircraft assigned to the mesh network.” Santa Clarita Valley Wesco Aircraft Holdings Inc. has renewed a multi-year agreement to provide chemical management services to aerospace and defense contractor Rockwell Collins Inc.
