A coalition of unions at Walt Disney World is claiming promised $1,000 bonuses are being held hostage during contract negotiations... so they're suing in federal court.
Disney announced the bonuses last month for 125,000 U.S. employees.
The company said at that time that the bonuses would go to full and part-time employees, including those represented by unions "currently working under existing union contracts."
Most unionized Disney World employees make less than $11 an hour, according to the union. Only 3,000 make more than $15 an hour. The union says the average hourly wage for its members is $10.71.
The Service Trades Council claims unfair labor practices.
A Disney spokeswoman says bonuses are a part of negotiations.
