Walt Disney Co. reached a tentative labor agreement with union employees at its Florida theme parks, guaranteeing janitors, ride operators and food-service staff minimum pay of $18 an hour.

Under the multiyear agreement, which is still subject to approval by members, employees will receive an increase of as much as $8.60 an hour by the end of the contract, with the first $3 coming this year, the union said Thursday in a statement.
