SoFi Stadium workers authorize strike as World Cup looms
TL;DR
Nearly 2,000 SoFi Stadium food-and-beverage workers voted 96% to authorize a strike as contract talks with Legends Global stall ahead of the U.S. World Cup opener on June 12, demanding pay above $30/hour, stronger job protections, and opposing FIFA’s request for sensitive personal data for credentialing; a walkout could disrupt World Cup crowds if no deal is reached.
