New York (CNN Business) The Walt Disney Co. strongly disputed allegations from family heiress Abigail Disney, who said she found workers struggling when she recently visited Disneyland. Abigail Disney , in an interview with Yahoo, said Disneyland workers told her they are forced to sift through "other people's garbage" for food, and they are struggling to stay happy. Abigail Disney said she went to Disneyland to observe worker conditions and was "so livid" at what she saw. In a new statement, the company told CNN Business Wednesday that Abigail Disney's account is "particularly egregious" hyperbole. Disney pays Disney employees a starting hourly wage of $15.
