Aramark workers, represented by Unite Here Local 274, are protesting in Center City Philadelphia, demanding family-sustaining wages and healthcare. The protests have led to the closure of the Market Street Bridge and significant traffic disruptions. The workers, who serve at venues including the Wells Fargo Center, Lincoln Financial Field, and Citizens Bank Park, are picketing Aramark's headquarters. This follows a historic strike in April. State Senator Nikil Saval was among fifty people arrested during the protest.
Today I was arrested for protesting @Aramark for devaluing @UNITEHEREPhilly workers. I refuse to let workers in my district be mistreated by a wealthy corporation that gets richer every year by exploiting their labor. I’m with them till they get the wages & benefits they deserve. https://t.co/ZYGFa0xP1q
