The Big Ten is just days away, but concession workers at the United Center have authorized a one-day strike ahead of the tournament.
following failed negotiations with Compass/Levy and its alleged federal, state, and local labor law violations.
Workers voted 98% in favor of the strike earlier last month and have been fighting for a fair contract including affordable healthcare, a retirement pension, better wages, and benefits. The company employs nearly 700 food servers, bartenders, suite attendants, cooks, and dishwashers at the United Center. Workers say they have been without a new contract for three years.
