Dear John,
UNITE HERE Local 23 represents the concessions workers who serve the Wizards, Capitals, and Nationals fans at Capital One Arena and Nationals Park. The suspension of many sporting events, while the right thing to do, is creating a tremendous hardship on these hard-working people, many of whom are themselves die-hard fans of the team and have enjoyed working at games for decades.
The concessions workers at Capital One Arena and Nationals Park are loyal workers and loyal fans, and deserve to be paid for missed games so that they can survive in this difficult time. Can you join us in demanding that concession workers receive regular paychecks for the home games they will miss as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak?
In solidarity,
Nikko Bilitza
