(Orlando, FL) -- Disney World workers are celebrating a victory.

Walt Disney World and the Services Trade Council Union agreed to a new contract this week.

The union's 45-thousand workers will get raises of at least three dollars an hour this year. That'll raise the starting hourly wage to 18 dollars an hour. By 2026, it'll be 20 dollars an hour.

The union's president says members were determined to fight for 18 dollars an hour, and today, they won that fight.

The union's members will vote Wednesday to ratify the contract.
