Stadium Workers Near LA Say They Have a Tentative Deal, Averting Strike Ahead of World Cup
The union says the strike vote comes as workers seek a contract before SoFi Stadium’s first scheduled World Cup match.
- On Friday, UNITE HERE Local 11, representing 2,000 SoFi Stadium workers, voted 96% to authorize a strike, giving employees the option to walk off the job as contract negotiations with Legends Global remain stalled.
- Union officials stated that contract talks have stalled with no significant progress on economic issues, as workers claim Legends offered minimal wage increases for some staff while freezing pay for others.
- Workers demanded that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents play no role in security, with suites runner Yolanda Fierro expressing concerns that FIFA's accreditation process requires submitting sensitive personal data.
- Legends spokeswoman Stacey Escudero stated the company remains committed to reaching a fair agreement through good-faith negotiations, while the union could call a walkout before the U.S. team's opening World Cup match against Paraguay on June 12.
- In conjunction with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, the union filed a formal complaint requesting Attorney General Rob Bonta investigate the accreditation process, highlighting broader tensions regarding privacy and security.
