Somerville Restaurants Ebi Sushi and Tsurumen Team Up for New Ramen Restaurant | Eater Boston

"Unionized food and drink workers at the ballpark, represented in negotiations with the food-service behemoth Aramark, authorized a potential three-day strike beginning midday on Friday, July 25, if a contract agreement isn’t reached, according to The Boston Globe. Workers cited issues including limits on automation (like self-checkout kiosks) and better pay; the Globe reports an average wage of $18 per hour for workers at the venue versus $20 to $26 per hour that Aramark pays workers at nearby Boston University. If the strike goes forward, union workers are urging fans to still attend games but to refrain from buying food and drink inside the stadium in solidarity; patrons can bring sealed water bottles into the park and, while there’s no definitive ban on bringing in outside food, are advised to play it safe and eat before the game, with plenty of options available around the ballpark." - Erika Adams
