Oracle Park workers announce strike vote

One of the most important parts of a ballgame, albeit highly underappreciated are the people who create the ballpark experience. The concession workers who throw little kids bags of peanuts, sell you overpriced hot dogs (while pocketing none of the profit), make going out to a ball game an experience in its own right — these are the unsung heroes of the MLB.

Drawing on articles and excellent reporting from SFGATE, NBC Bay Area, 48Hills, and Kron4, the summary of the upcoming situation is as follows. The San Francisco Giants, like many other professional sports teams, subcontract their concession workers through another company — in this case, a company called Bon Appetit, which also runs the concessions for the Golden State Warriors.
