◎ 羅彥傑

Hundreds of Disneyland Paris resort workers staged a protest recently to denounce the "stinginess'' of managers who chose not to pay many employees a euro100 （US$119） annual bonus.

數以百計的巴黎迪士尼樂園員工最近發起一場抗議活動，譴責資方「吝嗇」，決定不發放100歐元的年度分紅給許多員工。

The protesters, many waving banners and chanting, said the retraction of the annual bonus was one of many complaints, including increases in maximum daily work hours.

這些抗議者，其中許多人搖著旗幟，並高喊口號，聲稱不發年度分紅只是眾多委屈之一，另外還包括每日工時上限的調高。

"Management at Disneyland Resort Paris is giving huge payments to its managers and refusing to grant 100 euros to its employees, "read a flier distributed by labor unions. "Such pettiness and stinginess！" Pieter Boterman, a spokesman for resort operator Euro Disney SCA, said special holiday bonuses have been paid in eight of the resort's 14 years of operation.

「巴黎迪士尼園區的管理階層會發放鉅款給經理人員，卻拒絕給員工100歐元，」工會分送的一張傳單上寫著。「這麼小氣與吝嗇！」園區經營者「歐洲迪士尼SCA」發言人皮耶特．波特曼說，特別假期的分紅，在該園區經營14年之中發過8次。

The optional bonuses were paid either in years of profit or years in which special events like the opening of new attractions took place, he said. Euro Disney posted a net loss of euro95 million in its 2005 fiscal year, and there were no special events this year.

他說，選擇性的分紅若不是在獲利的年度發放，就是在諸如有新設施開幕等特別活動進行的年度發放。歐洲迪士尼在2005年會計年度淨虧損9500萬歐元，今年也無特殊活動。
