San Diego convention workers ratify big pay raises ahead of Comic-Con

With Comic-Con scheduled to begin next week, hundreds of convention center workers averted a threatened strike when they ratified their new contract.

People wander the exhibit hall during San Diego Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday, July 22, 2023 in San Diego, CA. Convention center workers, who nine days ago were prepared to go on strike, have overwhelmingly approved a new contract that will give them an average wage hike of 60 percent over a four-year period.

Affected workers include cooks, dishwashers, bartenders, servers and baristas, as well as those who staff the many food and drink concessions during a convention such as Comic-Con. They are employed by Sodexo Live, a food and beverage services company that the San Diego Convention Center Corp. contracts with for the many events and conferences held at the bayfront facility. Services provided by Sodexo can also include catered meals and receptions, coffee breaks and bar service.
