Topline:
On Monday, thousands of Disneyland employees will vote on a labor contract reached last week.
How we got here: These 14,000 employees — from candy workers, and costumers to retail workers — have been in negotiations with the theme park since April. They were seeking a more flexible attendance policy, pay raises and an extra bump for people who have worked at the theme park for decades.
Days before the tentative agreement was announced, union members voted to authorize a strike.
About the deal: It includes wage increases, seniority increases and retention premiums.
Go deeper: Disneyland workers voted to strike but that doesn't equal a walkout.
