Giants workers ramp up strike preparations amid safety uncertainty, health care impasse

After three days of negotiations that only commenced under the threat of a strike, San Francisco Giants concessions workers and union leaders said they still feel as though their lengthy list of concerns remain largely unaddressed.

From Wednesday until Friday, the Local 2 union (which represents 930 Oracle Park concessions workers) negotiated with Bon Appetit, the food services management company subcontracted by the San Francisco Giants. The union went into negotiations looking to discuss a long-awaited hourly pay increase and a reduction in the number of events required for workers to qualify for health care. Union representatives also wanted to speak to the Giants organization, which has so far passed the buck onto its subcontractor, about COVID-19 safety precautions at the ballpark.
