Hospitality and food-and-beverage workers at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles vote to authorize a strike shortly before the FIFA World Cup begins at the venue. Multiple outlets report the vote happens ahead of the stadium’s first scheduled World Cup match and that the decision follows ongoing contract negotiations and concerns over workplace conditions. Workers and their union seek improved pay and job protections, with reports also citing demands related to immigration enforcement and immigration-related assurances at games. Several sources mention fears that immigration authorities could be present during events and that workers want guarantees that such enforcement will not occur at the stadium. Separately, at least one outlet reports that after the strike authorization, the union reaches a tentative agreement with stadium operators, which can avert an immediate walkout. Across coverage, the vote is described as strong or overwhelming support for striking, and the timing is framed as occurring just days to about a week before the World Cup matches at SoFi Stadium.
