53%的受访员工曾因缺钱缩减或跳过餐食：好莱坞环球影城工人向洛杉矶县监事会陈情低薪困境
位于加州洛杉矶县 Universal City 的好莱坞环球影城多名餐饮服务员工10月27日在洛杉矶县监事会会议的公众发言时段陈情，称长期人手不足、工资偏低与排班不稳正迫使许多员工在食物、药物与房租之间作取舍，请求县政府介入或出面与公司沟通。
《好莱坞报道》（The Hollywood Reporter）10月30日的报道再次援引加州大学洛杉矶分校劳工中心（UCLA Labor Center）对该乐园员工的调查：调查覆盖1,300多名员工，受访者平均时薪17.65美元；53%的人在受访前一年内曾因缺钱缩减餐食分量或跳过餐食，43%曾挨饿却因没钱而不吃；44%担忧被赶出住所，约四分之一领取食物援助，9%自述处于无家可归状态。
代表园内近4,000名员工的 IATSE Local B-192 工会正在与资方谈判新合同。工会表示，环球影城主题乐园业务利润可观，但资方提出的工资方案扣除通胀后相当于减薪，已有员工因付不起房租而睡在车里，工会要求能跟上生活成本的工资与公平合同。以上为工会一方的说法。
好莱坞环球影城员工逾6,000人，是洛杉矶县规模最大的主题乐园雇主之一。随着2028年洛杉矶奥运会临近，园内劳资谈判的走向受到本地关注。
53% of Surveyed Workers Cut or Skipped Meals for Lack of Money: Universal Studios Hollywood Workers Take Pay Complaints to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors
Several food-service employees of Universal Studios Hollywood, in Universal City, Los Angeles County, California, testified during the public comment period of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting on October 27, saying chronic understaffing, low pay and unstable scheduling are forcing many park workers to choose between food, medicine and rent, and asking the county to intervene or reach out to the company.
An October 30 report by The Hollywood Reporter again cited a UCLA Labor Center survey of the park's workforce: covering more than 1,300 workers, the survey found an average wage of $17.65 an hour; 53% of respondents had cut the size of meals or skipped meals in the previous year because they lacked money for food, 43% had gone hungry but not eaten for lack of money, 44% worried about being evicted from their homes, about a quarter received food assistance, and 9% described themselves as homeless.
IATSE Local B-192, which represents nearly 4,000 workers at the park, is negotiating a new contract with the company. The union says the theme park business is highly profitable while the company's wage offer amounts to a pay cut after inflation, that some employees already sleep in their cars because they cannot afford rent, and it is demanding wages that keep up with the cost of living and a fair contract. Those statements reflect the union's position.
Universal Studios Hollywood employs more than 6,000 people and is one of the largest theme-park employers in Los Angeles County. With the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics approaching, the course of the park's labor talks is drawing local attention.
