(Bloomberg) -- Workers at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles on Friday voted in favor of a strike for higher wages, a week before the venue is scheduled to host the US soccer team’s first World Cup match.
The measure was approved by 96% of Unite Here Local 11 members at the stadium, according to the union, after contract negotiations with Legends Global, the subcontractor managing food and beverage service at the venue, faltered.
Talks are expected to resume on Monday.
The union represents roughly 2,000 food service workers, including bartenders, dishwashers, cooks and concession workers at the venue.
Legends didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
