One job should be enough! Stadium events like the #SuperBowl are made possible by hospitality workers. That's why the @NFLPA is standing with @Culinary226 @UniteHere to demand Las Vegas's Allegiant Stadium recognizes the stadium workers' union!

The small business employees carrying tools and equipment and living out past the subway are the ones crossing from the boroughs to Manhattan by car. It ain’t for a lark. And they ain’t elitist & rich bike bros paying $4000 a month rent in Williamsburg or Greenpoint.
