Fenway Park concessions workers warn of another possible strike
August 7, 2025 // As negotiations continue for a new collective bargaining agreement, the union said its key demands are citywide-standard wages, guardrails on automation, increased gratuity for premium workers who serve season ticket holders and special guests, and fair scheduling that respects workers' seniority. 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.
Fenway, MGM concession workers vote to authorize strike
June 17, 2025 // "Boston is a union town, and it's time to bring all Fenway workers' wages up to standard," said Carlos Aramayo, president of UNITE HERE Local 26, which represents the Fenway workers. "Local 26 hotel workers fought for, and won, $10-an-hour raises last year, and Local 26 university dining workers will be making a minimum of $30 an hour by 2028. There's no reason for Fenway workers to be left behind. They deserve raises and respect!"
