""Most of the workers are afraid. They fear for their safety. This is also about the fans. People come from everywhere, even from Iran. So we're concerned about their safety.""
""We are concerned about the safety of guests and workers," said Kurt Petersen, co-president of Unite Here Local 11, emphasizing the need for a safe environment during the World Cup."
Around 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium are threatening to strike if ICE agents are allowed at the venue during the World Cup. The union Unite Here Local 11, along with over 100 human rights groups, is urging FIFA to request a moratorium on ICE raids. Workers, including cook Isaac Martinez, express fear for their safety and the safety of fans attending the event. The union has filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the stadium's operators for creating an unsafe work environment by not restricting ICE's presence.
