Attached: 1 image Now this is amazing! Solidarity! 'America’s World Cup opener was yesterday at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and the 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders, and dishwashers who work there are now the highest-paid stadium workers in the country. They didn’t get there by asking nicely. The regime’s Homeland Security chief promised ICE agents at World Cup stadiums. FIFA—in partnership with the regime—demanded workers hand over home addresses and nationality data. Workers knew exactly where that information could end up. Days before the opening match—when walking out would’ve been impossible to ignore—96% of them voted to strike. And they won big. Their ratified contract delivers 40% raises, bringing most workers to more than $40 an hour, and something unprecedented in American labor history—the contractual right to walk off the job if ICE threatens any worker in that stadium. Union co-president Kurt Petersen was direct: “These workers are heroes. They stood up to FIFA. They stood up to ICE.” Suites worker Yolanda Fierro put it best: “Los Angeles should be a city of welcome—not fear.”' https://www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/stadium-workers-beat-ice-at-world #solidarity #workers #WorkerRights #ice #immigration #racism #hate #HateSpeech #Fifa #uspol #union
