Target Field concession workers vote to strike

[Patzky]

They said we need to throw more strikes. This ain't the best news for fans, or even for workers who feel the need to do so.

Guess no more 2 dollar beers or drinks to cope with the depression 😑

It doesn't say but I presume it's due to low pay?

This is already by far the least popular of any of the state's professional ownership groups, how can they be this tone deaf?

I'm not sure how many concession workers there are, but I know a lot of the stands are just run by random service groups that come in and get an itty-bitty fraction of the profits for their charity. I'd bet good money the Pohlad's will just make all the concession workers voluntary service group workers.

This is what I thought based on my trips to Target Field.  Maybe the concession workers consist of the various chefs, cooks, and other workers that need to prep the work areas for the volunteers to work?  I'm not sure about this at all.

This is not a Pohlad issue. Delaware North is who they work for.

Searching 'news' on Delaware North, just about every 'article' is written by something called Delaware North Newsroom.

Dump this company ASAP.

It’s not about pay. It’s about being forced to watch the twins in person. No one should have to work in situations that abuse your mental health like that
