Target Field concessions workers set strike date for Twins-Dodgers matchup
June 15, 2026 // Last month, 81% of the 500 union members with Unite Here Local 17 voted to authorize a strike, seeking higher wages and better benefits. On Thursday, the concessions workers, employed by Delaware North Company, announced they plan to strike on June 22 if a deal isn't reached before then. The Twins are scheduled to take on the Dodgers, the defending World Series champions that day. Union members are asking fans to bring their own food to the game and not cross the picket line to buy food and drink.

According to Local 26, Fenway concessions employees earn under $20 an hour, a wage that the union says is $10 less than Boston's standard for similar jobs.
