SoFi Stadium Workers to Vote on Historic Contract to Avert World Cup Strike
More than 2,000 workers won a tentative deal after months of talks over pay, subcontracting and immigration-enforcement protections, the union said.
- On Tuesday, SoFi Stadium workers and Legends Hospitality reached a tentative contract agreement, averting a potential strike just days before the FIFA World Cup opening game.
- Last week, approximately 2,000 food and beverage workers represented by UNITE HERE Local 11 voted 96% to authorize a strike, citing concerns over wages, automation, and federal immigration enforcement.
- The new contract provides the largest wage increases in stadium history, with a $40 hourly minimum wage, a 75% reduction in subcontracting, and a multimillion-dollar housing fund contribution.
- Employees are scheduled to vote on ratifying the tentative agreement today, Wednesday, solidifying the labor deal before the tournament begins.
- SoFi Stadium will host eight matches throughout the weeks-long tournament, beginning Friday with the USA versus Paraguay match.
