World Cup 2026 sparks US hospitality strikes over pay and protections
TL;DR Summary
Labor actions loom as hospitality workers in Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium), Seattle (Embassy Suite Hilton), and six Philadelphia hotels authorize strikes ahead of World Cup 2026. Vote margins are large (96% LA, 94% Seattle); workers seek wages above $30/hour, year‑round health insurance, and protections from ICE, along with other contract gains. FIFA’s immigration disclosure policy is also under scrutiny as the World Cup nears (opening matches begin mid‑June).
