The union wants pay and benefits to be the same as those at neighboring Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park.Aramark says it intends to keep working toward a settlement but has a plan in place to ensure services at the Wells Fargo Center are not interrupted. Many workers say they work full-time hours and they want their benefits to reflect that.
"I work all three buildings. I should have health care. My hours should be totaled up together, not separated," said Samantha Spector, a club box attendant. "Our wages aren't livable. We need a fair contract." "They treat us like we're nothing even though we're the ones who take care of the customers allowing them to make all that money," said bartender, Carlton Epps. "I should not have to have citizens of Pennsylvania subsidize my health care when I work for a company that makes all that money.""We respect the right of our employees to demonstrate and look forward to continuing to bargain in good faith to reach an agreement that works for everyone.
If there is a strike, it could affect fans at the next Philadelphia 76ers home game on Wednesday, as well as the next Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
