Fenway Park and MGM Music Hall concession workers ratified a new contract with Aramark! They had been without a contract from the end of 2024 until yesterday.

Full details are not released yet. But it sounds like the employees got more stable hours, increases in wages/commissions, and better staffing ratios on the self-checkout machines.

Last summer they had an intermittent strike at Fenway against Aramark (not against the Red Sox).
