Just days before the World Cup, SoFi Stadium workers were threatening to strike. Instead, they won a historic contract with major wage increases, stronger job protections, limits on automation, and a first-of-its-kind right to walk off the job if immigration enforcement actions threaten worker safety during World Cup events. The World Cup isn’t just about soccer. It’s also about the workers who make it happen.
