Summary
Two thousand hospitality workers at SoFi Stadium, set to host eight World Cup matches including knockout games, are poised to strike unless management meets their demands for better pay and critical protections against immigration enforcement — especially with ICE potentially present during the tournament. Represented by UNITE HERE Local 11, the workers overwhelmingly approved strike authorization, citing fears for their safety and livelihoods, particularly for those on visas. Negotiations begin Monday, June 8th, with the union pushing for stronger safeguards while management promises a great fan experience — though strike leaders warn luxury suites could be reduced to just snacks and water. As the World Cup faces mounting scrutiny over ticket prices and immigration, this labor dispute could disrupt the event and deepen controversy.
