Four Fenway Park food and beverage workers and a union organizer flew more than 3,100 miles to Liverpool to ask Red Sox owner John Henry to intervene in stalled contract negotiations with Aramark. Workers seek higher wages and protections against automation after a weekend strike in July; they have since returned to work but report little progress. The delegation — Joe Baio, Lauren Casello, Austin Petruzziello, and Charbel Salameh — met with Liverpool MP Ian Byrne and drew attention from travelers and media. Union leadership says ownership attention may be focused on Liverpool FC; workers aim to raise awareness and pressure for a fair contract.
We're all willing to do whatever it takes to get a contract, whether that's going to Liverpool or going to Pittsburgh ... We're just not going to stop until we get the contract that we need and deserve.
We're trying to draw attention to what we're doing here ... saying 'hey, don't forget us here,"
They know it's coming, and they don't want it," Casello said, regarding automation services in stadiums.
