Food and beverage workers at SoFi Stadium, represented by Unite Here Local 11, voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike ahead of the World Cup, with 96% in favor. Negotiations with Legends Global, the stadium's food-service operator, are ongoing, but union co-president Kurt Petersen warned that a walkout could occur if an agreement is not reached before the June 12 match between the U.S. and Paraguay. Workers are pushing for significant pay increases, job security, and protections against the collection of sensitive personal information required by FIFA for worker accreditation. Legends Global has expressed confidence in reaching a contract and has prepared a contingency staffing plan to maintain operations. However, the union argues that FIFA's demands for personal data, such as Social Security numbers, pose privacy concerns under California law. FIFA maintains that these measures are necessary for security and will comply with data protection laws.
