Food and beverage workers at the Wells Fargo Center, employed by Aramark, have initiated a one-day strike coinciding with Tuesday night's Philadelphia 76ers-Detroit Pistons game. The strike, supported by UNITEHEREPhilly and echoed by political figures such as RepFiedler, RepKrajewski, and RuePhilaCouncil, aims to secure 'family-sustaining wage increases and health care coverage.' Union members are abstaining from preparing, vending, and serving food and alcohol, urging supporters to avoid purchasing these items at the venue. The action has garnered solidarity from multiple sources, who have expressed their support through social media and by joining picket lines.
