Fenway Park Concessions Workers on Strike as Sox-Dodgers Weekend Series Begins

Last week, Jesus Teran was detained in Western Pennsylvania during an ICE hearing, as part of ongoing immigration enforcement actions.
Supporters of Jesus Teran have pushed for his release, and community members at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Cannonsburg have organized rallies and community garden efforts.
Legal advocates for Teran have mobilized to block deportation, while Rev. Jay Donahue said, `All of a sudden, he's detained`.
Concession workers at Fenway Park announced a strike beginning July 25, supported by 95% of members, marking the first strike in the ballpark's 113-year history and workers urged fans to refrain from buying concessions in solidarity.
An investigation found Volkswagen Brazil subsidiary Vale do Rio Cristalino Co. lured workers during Brazil's military dictatorship, ensnaring 69 victims with forced labor, debt, and threats.
