Seven Teamsters working for The Mandate Company who run concessions at the Oakland Coliseum recently disputed their wage calculations. The source of the error seems to originate from Aramark equipment. Aramark contracts with The Mandate Company and provides hand-held concession computers for these members. These seven members determined that the end-of-shift sales figures had been incorrect on the Aramark machines, and cheated these members out of rightful commissions.
So, in conjunction with Teamsters Local 853 Business Agent John Arnolfo and Mandate workers and Stewards, they are approaching the company to try to make our members whole by securing the back pay. Should The Mandate Company choose to deny their claim, the Local can exercise the next step by filing a case through the California State Labor Commissioner.
Pictured here are those Concession Vendor Teamsters meeting with Union attorney Sarah Kabnar (bottom right) regarding outstanding wage claims.
Stay tuned and we will let you know the outcome or further developments.
