The strike is supported by the MLB Players Association as well:

Aramark workers are critical to the great fan experience at the ballpark and deserve the fair wages and benefits they are fighting for. #1u”](https://x.com/mlbpa/status/1838201704761700721?s=46&t=OkIHxp3du4acsr1oGWXRXg)
Pffft….as if we weren’t already tailgating.
I’m all for them getting theirs but ultimately it’ll just lead to higher concession prices. And that’s all John Q cares about
Any reasonable estimates how long the strike will last? Days, weeks, months?
Paid 22 for a Stella at the WFC also 20 for a burger and a soda is BS so I definitely won’t get anything at the flyers preseason game Saturday
Best of luck and all, but I’m already priced out of the pro sporting event market based upon the cost of tickets and parking alone. Hell, it’s enough of a stretch just to keep paying for access to the broadcasts. So what people do or don’t do at games is irrelevant to me at this point.
I went to the bank in June.. chicken fingers and fries from chickie and Pete was THIRTY DOLLARS!!
I put the food down, went to the workers and said “y’all should strike, they’re robbing y’all more than they’re robbing us”
That worker said “ I know, we are sick of it”
Hopefully they get more money. Fuck Aramark
Great now who is Howard Eskin supposed to kiss?
Only Barves fans cross picket lines!
Who is gonna drink a Ying on tv then?
Having health with Aramark my entire life through various events, contracts, and workplaces…
Fuck Aramark.
Pay your workers, you bums. It’s not like the money is going toward improving the quality of the garbage food.
Solidarity forever! You can already bring your own food and sealed water into CBP for free. Do not cross the picket lines, and do not become a scab!
Went to Phillies/Royals at the K.
Chicken fingers, fries, hot dog, two huge drinks was like $25 I was surprised at how “cheap” it was compared to the bank.
Astronomically based
Bet
heard from multiple aramark workers at the ballpark that they also don’t receive any of the tips that are given.
So what food options are left come playoff time. Edit – as of today
The whole stadium cant be aramark, can it?
I don’t buy any food or drinks at the ballpark anyway. Outrageously expensive for such garbage.
We take care of all of that before and/or after the game.
Interesting that the two largest companies headquartered in Philadelphia are universally hated by the world.
Idk what’s up with this strike but I’m holding the line until they bring back forever popcorn buckets!!
Stadium prices post strike: 📈📈📈 just in time for playoffs!
You don’t tend to think in the moment of a game you’re attending, but now I wish I’d give whoever served me my hot dogs and sodas (I’m driving, so I’m not drinking) at least a few bucks each time. I could’ve done it., I had mini nest egg back then.
Are there any concessions at CBP that aren’t run by Aramark? Bulls BBQ? Manco? Any of the beer or mixed drink stands?
Don’t cross the line! Fuck the corpos
I wonder how much the price of a beer is going to go up.
Can someone clarify how you could patronize Aramark if the workers are on strike? Will CBP have non-Aramark employees behind the counter?
