Disney CEO Bob Iger collected $65 million from Disney in 2018—which is 1,424 times the company’s median employee salary. However, speaking with CNBC, Iger was very concerned about writers and actors’ quest for equitable compensation.
, screenwriter John August noted that today’s writers assistants have less upward mobility in the industry than before, and that writers assistant wages haven’t budged since his time as a writer in the 1990s.“I understand any labor organization’s desire to work on the behalf of its members to get the most compensation and be compensated fairly based on the value that they deliver,” Iger told CNBC.
“Again, I respect their right and their desire to get as much as they possibly can in compensation for their people,” Iger said. “And I completely respect that. I’ve been around long enough to understand that dynamic and to appreciate it. But you also have to be realistic about the business environment and what this business can deliver. It is and has been a great business for all of these people, and it will continue to be, even through disruptive times. But being realistic is imperative here.
