Hospitality Union Threatens Strike at SoFi Stadium Over ICE Presence During World Cup

A hospitality union representing approximately 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles has threatened to strike during the upcoming World Cup unless FIFA addresses their concerns regarding working conditions and the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The stadium is set to host eight World Cup matches this summer, drawing an estimated 150,000 additional visitors to Los Angeles. Kurt Petersen, co-president of Unite Here Local 11, has called on FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Stan Kroenke, the stadium's owner, to ensure fair working practices and publicly state that ICE will not be involved in the event. Petersen also criticized Airbnb for contributing to the city's affordable housing shortage and urged FIFA to sever ties with the company.
