White Sox gameday workers picket for better working conditions

The end of the 2022 White Sox season was disappointing for many, and not just on the field.

Concessions workers employed by food contract service company Delaware North formed a picket line Tuesday afternoon outside of Guaranteed Rate Field’s main entrance, citing gross underpayment and inadequate health benefits under Delaware North and the White Sox.

Represented by Unite Here Local 1 (the Chicago branch of a service and hospitality workers’ union with some 300,000 members nationwide), workers from Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, and the United Center rallied in support of their Guaranteed Rate Field colleagues, who described pay rates and benefit packages far out of line with cost-of-living standards in Chicago.
