The Massachusetts Teachers Association stands in strong solidarity with UNITE HERE Local 26 as its members strike for fair wages and to resist harmful automation at Fenway Park. We are especially proud to stand with those striking workers who are also members of the MTA and other unionized education workers.
When union members stand up and demand better, it lifts all of us. The fight for dignity, fairness and economic justice does not end at the gates of Fenway Park – it begins there.
The MTA will inform all of its members: If you attend events at Fenway Park, please do not purchase food, beverages or merchandise until a fair contract is reached.
We call on Aramark to return to the bargaining table and settle the contract immediately.
We also urge the Red Sox organization to take an active role in resolving this dispute so that workers – and Red Sox supporters – can return to enjoying America’s favorite ballpark together.”
