Aramark workers at The Linc joined Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center workers to authorize a strike.
Workers at Lincoln Financial Field have authorized a possible strike joining workers from the Wells Fargo Center and Citizens Bank Park.
84% of food service and retail employees for Aramark who are represented by Unite Here Local 274 voted yes to strike on Friday, Sept. 6 which means the union is on strike watch now.

“We remain committed to bargaining in good faith to reach a settlement that works for all parties. Unfortunately, the union and its members voted tonight for a strike at Lincoln Financial Field. We have contingency plans in place to ensure our services are not interrupted and that the fan experience remains strong," a spokesperson from Aramark said in a statement to NBC10.
This comes less than a week after a majority of Aramark workers voted yes to authorize a strike at Citizens Bank Park. Workers at the Wells Fargo Center voted to authorize a strike back in April.
The union claims Aramark counts employee hours at different venues separately -- even though, they said, workers do the same jobs for the same employer no matter the venue. The union said this keeps many workers from being eligible for health benefits.
