Beer and food workers on strike at Fenway for homestand between Dodgers and Red Sox
BOSTON (AP) — Hundreds of Aramark workers at Fenway Park are on strike and planning to stay out for all of a homestand between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers starting Friday night. Concession workers had set a deadline of noon Friday for Aramark and Fenway Park to reach an agreement with the Local 26 chapter of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island hotel, casino, airport and food services workers union. The union went on strike at noon asking for 'living wages, guardrails on technology and R-E-S-P-E-C-T!' With the Red Sox and Dodgers scheduled to start at 7:10 p.m. EDT, union officials had a request for fans attending this homestand with food and beer workers on strike. 'We're asking you to NOT buy concessions inside the ballpark,' Local 26 wrote on social media. 'Tailgate before the games!' Union workers walked the picket line wearing green T-shirts declaring 'FENWAY WORKERS ON STRIKE.' They carried signs in the shape of a baseball proclaiming Local 26. The Red Sox go out of town Monday with a game that night at Minnesota. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press Sign in to access your portfolio
