Stadium Food Workers’ Union reaches tentative deal with Aramark just in time for baseball season

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The Stadium Food Workers’ Union says it has reached a deal with Aramark, just in time for the Phillies baseball season.

It comes after more than a year of negotiations, and a series of strikes last year at Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field and the Wells Fargo Center.

Unite Here Local 274 says the proposed six-year contract will give non-tipped workers a minimum of $20 an hour.

That rises to $24 an hour by 2029.

The deal also allows hundreds of workers to qualify for health care.

Members will begin voting on the contract on Wednesday.
