09 June 2026 14:55

Workers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, have reached a tentative contract deal with food service provider Legends Global, averting a strike during the World Cup. - The deal includes wage increases, with some cooks earning up to $40 per hour within two years.

- It provides protections against subcontracting and a contribution to build housing for hospitality workers. - Workers retained the right to strike in case of an immigration raid, a key sticking point amid heightened enforcement under the Trump administration.

The contract, which runs through April 2028, will be voted on by workers Wednesday.
