Striking Philly Aramark Arena/Stadium Workers Demand Health Care, Raises & Dignity

Collin Kawan-Hemler at People’s World reports Aramark Food and Beverage Workers, Custodians, and Security Staff employed at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center who are tired of the company’s greed and refusal to negotiate in good faith after months of bargaining sessions. With the support of their neighbors, community and Elected Officials, the Workers went on Strike at the end of April, conducting a boisterous picket line successfully that disrupted Aramark’s profits at the top of the Philadelphia Sixers’ National Basketball Association playoff series.  Concessions Workers at all three of South Philadelphia’s sports stadiums, including Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Banks Park, are represented by Unite Here Local 274. While the picket line focused on Wells Fargo Center, the Union is waging a broader struggle for a single contract that covers all Aramark Stadium Workers.
