Emma Glazer at People’s World reports 45 Demonstrators were taken into custody during a protest held outside of Aramark’s Headquarters in Center City, Pennsylvania.  The action was called by Members of Unite Here Local 274, which represents Aramark Workers at the Wells Fargo Center, Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.  The event was a great show of region-wide Union Solidarity, with Workers from as far away as Washington, D.C. and Boston participating.  After a late April Strike at Wells Fargo Center, Stadium Workers have continued their fight for pay increases and health care.  This latest demonstration included a civil disobedience action on a major bridge as part of the protest.  Aramark Food and Beverage Workers, Custodians and Security Staff say they’re tired of the company’s greed and refusal to negotiate in good faith after months of bargaining sessions.  “I’m here because I’m tired of being a robot,” one Worker told People’s World.  “I’m here to fight for everybody else and myself.  We all have a life, we all need to live so (Aramark), give us what we need - period.”
