Oakland A's Influence on Coliseum Workers' Health Benefits
Health Care Benefits at Stake for Oakland Coliseum Workers
The recent departure of the Oakland A's has ignited serious concerns for Coliseum food service workers regarding health care benefits. Unite Here Local 2 is voicing its alarm that Aramark, their employer, is refusing to honor previously accrued health care benefits after the A's exit from Oakland. This union represents around 400 dedicated workers who have spent decades serving food and drinks during games.
Union's Stand Against Aramark
The union contends that Aramark is not only attempting to escape a contract involving health care but also plans to deny any severance packages to the workforce. This situation leaves many workers, some who have devoted 20 or 30 years to this role, in a precarious position.
- Health Benefits under threat.
- Union advocacy for workers' rights.
- Cautious future for Coliseum jobs.
What’s Next for Workers?
As the A's conclude their games in Oakland, the impact on worker’s health care hangs in the balance. The union is gearing up for potential action to ensure that Aramark follows through with the benefits employees deserve.
