Americas World Cup opener is today at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and the 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders, and dishwashers who work there are now among the highest-paid stadium workers in the country.
They didnt get there by asking nicely.
The regimes Homeland Security chief promised ICE agents at World Cup stadiums. FIFAin partnership with the regimedemanded workers hand over home addresses and nationality data. Workers knew exactly where that information could end up.
Days before the opening matchwhen walking out wouldve been impossible to ignore96% of them voted to strike. And they won big.
