Workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a potential strike during the World Cup, just days before football’s global showpiece begins.

The Unite Here Local 11 union, which represents about 2,000 stadium food and beverage workers, is demanding better pay along with assurances that federal immigration agents will not be allowed to enter the venue.
