US Workers Threaten Strikes Ahead of World Cup

Hospitality and food service workers at several US venues hosting World Cup matches have warned of potential strikes, demanding higher wages and protection from ICE actions.

In Los Angeles, about 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium voted 96% in favor of a strike authorization, seeking a new union contract with wage increases and safeguards from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Similar concerns have emerged in other host cities as thousands of visitors are expected for the tournament starting 11 June. extract-html.com
