With MLB’s All-Star Game festivities set to begin this weekend, concession workers at Dodger Stadium are positioning themselves for a potential strike that could begin “at any time,” according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.
Food and beverage workers held a vote on Sunday to authorize a strike, with 99% of the nearly 1,500 unionized members voting in favor, according to spokeswoman Maria Hernandez of the Unite Here Local 11.
In an interview with the Times, Hernandez declined to mention specific demands but said that the group is seeking a “fair new union contract” and cited housing and healthcare concerns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
