"Unite Here Local 11, which represents cooks, servers and bartenders at the Inglewood venue, said on Monday that the workers remain without a labour contract as the World Cup approaches."
"The union laid out three main demands to FIFA and stadium owner Kroenke Sports & Entertainment: A public commitment that ICE and Border Patrol will play no role in the tournament, protections for union jobs and working conditions, and support for affordable housing for hospitality workers."
"FIFA and its corporate sponsors will pocket billions from Los Angeles while refusing to even acknowledge the cooks, servers, and stand attendants who make this event possible, Kurt Petersen, co-president of Local 11, said in a statement."
A union representing 2,000 food service workers at the Los Angeles Stadium has requested FIFA to prevent ICE from participating in World Cup operations. The union, Unite Here Local 11, outlined demands including a commitment against ICE involvement, job protections, and support for affordable housing. Concerns over worker safety and job security have been raised, particularly regarding the use of automation. The union has sought meetings with FIFA but has been ignored, highlighting the disparity between corporate profits and worker recognition.
