Fenway workers strike continued on Sunday. Customers and workers spoke about their experience this weekend, despite the strike.

The Aramark workers inside Fenway Park officially went on strike Friday afternoon. They were picketing around the ballpark throughout the day. They want a pay raise and protection from automation, like self-checkouts. “Hey, guys, if you can support our cause, please buy everything outside, okay?” one of the protesting workers said directly to fans.

After their contract with vendor Aramark expired at the end of 2024, the concession workers of Fenway Park have been urging the food services and facilities manager to negotiate for a new one. One with some conditions — decreased reliance on vending machines and better pay with more consistent scheduling of shifts — stuff you’d expect.
