The union behind SoFi Stadium’s workforce has voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, ahead of the 2026 World Cup next week, a move that could cause a possible work stoppage as the venue prepares to serve as a key location in the soccer tournament.
Unite Here Local 11 represents the stadium‘s nearly 2,000 cooks, dishwashers, concession workers, bartenders and servers. They had been voting Thursday and Friday on whether to strike.
The decision to strike comes after negotiations had stalled with the stadium’s food service operator and FIFA.
“SoFi Stadium cashiers, dishwashers, cooks, bartenders, concessions workers, and food attendants have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met,” the union said in a statement.
The union added that negotiations are scheduled to continue Monday ahead of the USA vs Paraguay match on June 12th.
The union represents more than 32,000 hospitality workers in SoCal.
“Union members point to the enormous revenues SoFi Stadium, including individual suite packages for more than $100,000, will generate during the World Cup and demand that the frontline workers providing this hospitality service deserve a fair share,” Unite Here said in a statement to ABC 7.
Key Union Demands:
ICE Safety Protocols: The right for employees to halt work and exit the venue if federal immigration enforcement activity creates a reasonable safety concern.

Look for the UNION label.
A real shame.
I hope the US loses every game, after seeing them wear their “Pride” jerseys today.
Good. Blow that up like an election.
BFD
Some unions are Fascistic and just like Hamas - if we take some hostages they’ll have to negotiate and give us what we want, and in this case the games are the hostage.
I wonder how many other teams have that kind of jersey? Probably not Iran at least.
How is this a bad thing?/s
Raise the ticket prices higher!
Threatening to strike at a time like this is essentially blackmail.
10% for the Big Guy mob bosses.
None.
“ICE Safety Protocols: The right for employees to halt work and exit the venue if federal immigration enforcement activity creates a reasonable safety concern.”
Illegals run California. If this is why they strike then NICE should show up at every picket line with 100s of vans. Like fish in a barrel.
Just another feather in Karen Bass’ hat. You know she’ll support the union.
I thought they had 20 venues, why would one on strike ruin the entire tournament
Unions have had their time and place.
With minimum wages and a ton of worker protection laws they are no longer needed.
Time for them to go.
We should just have a national moratorium against doing ANY business in California.
