Aramark and Fenway Park Still Searching For Agreement

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The workers are employed by Ara Mark. Among their demands
city wide standard wages and guardrails against automation. Something fans
like Hannah can get on board with.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
This's weird, like, just keep the people there.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
We like the people better than the robots. The strike
is set to last three days. The union is asking
fans not to buy any concessions during that time. A
lot of fans I talked to said that's a worthy sacrifice.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Absolutely, I'm a union man. They might as well, you know,
share the wealth. Look at a cost of living Boston
past few years, kind of difficult for them to kind
of survive on that era.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Mark says it has contingency plans in place to make
sure the fan experience doesn't suffer during the work stoppage.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, aren't party to the negotiations, but
they've said they're monitoring the situation closely, and the union
has even sent a letter asking owner John Henry to intervene.
