INGLEWOOD, United States (AFP) — Workers at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium vowed Monday to go on strike if federal immigration enforcement agents are deployed at the venue when it hosts World Cup matches next month.
The UNITE HERE Local 11, representing around 2,000 hospitality employees, is demanding federal guarantees that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will not be used in any of the eight World Cup matches scheduled to take place at the stadium.
Workers at the world’s most expensive sports arena say that an ICE presence would create a climate of fear — for themselves and for fans.
