Beer and food workers on strike at Fenway Park for homestand between Dodgers and Red Sox

BOSTON (AP) — Striking Fenway Park vendors banged on drums and shouted “Don’t buy food!” while walking a picket line outside the home of the Boston Red Sox before Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Hundreds of Aramark workers marched along the street behind the team’s right field concourse before the series opener, carrying round picket signs decorated with red baseball stitching. A giant inflatable rat shared the sidewalk with a statue of Red Sox greats Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky.
Local 26 of the Massachusetts and Rhode Island hotel, casino, airport and food services workers union went on strike at noon on Friday. It posted that it is asking for “living wages, guardrails on technology and R-E-S-P-E-C-T!”
It’s believed to be the first union walkout in the ballpark’s 113-year-history.
