• Aramark, the company that handles food and beverage service for the stadium."...

• "The membership of both unions has authorized a strike but neither union has called for one yet.

Union leaders tried to make it clear that they were not technically “picketing” on Friday, since employees still planned to report for work and they weren’t calling for fans to stay away....

“We just want fans to know what the workers are facing and, hopefully, win their support if a strike is called.”
