SFT 2275 is sending out a call to get involved in the Local 274 Strike to get Aramark workers a fair wage! Details below!
UNITE HERE Local 274 is the union representing food service workers employed by Aramark at all 3 stadiums at the South Philly Sports Complex. Aramark workers in Philly earn significantly less than stadium food service workers in other major cities. Food service utility workers at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. and United Center in Chicago earn hourly wages of $21.50 and $21.55, respectively, while their counterparts at the Wells Fargo Center earn only $14.11 per hour. Employees who work a minimum of 910 hours per year between the United Center and Wrigley Field in Chicago are eligible for free, year-round health insurance. Only a few of Aramark’s employees at the Sports Complex are eligible for employer-sponsored healthcare despite the fact that hundreds work for Aramark year-round. Eligibility for healthcare benefits for year-round workers remains a key sticking point in the contract fight between the union and Aramark.
