Another United Center concessions strike has been avoided during the Big Ten basketball tournament, Levy said.

Another United Center workers strike is possible during the 2023 Big Ten tournament as concessions workers continue to negotiate a new contract.United Center concessions workers have reached a tentative agreement with Levy to avoid another strike, the company said on Sunday.

The labor union, bargaining committee and Levy reached a tentative agreement for employees at the United Center during their most recent bargaining session, avoiding a potential strike during the Big Ten tournament, Levy said. Union membership will vote to ratify the agreement in the coming days.

Concessions workers with the Unite Here Local 1 union picketed before the Sunday Bulls game last week. They scheduled another negotiating session on the following Tuesday with the United Center concessions operator, and said in a statement, "If talks do not move forward, Compass/Levy employees at the United Center are prepared to take action at any moment including, but not limited to a strike.

A spokesperson for Levy, the concessions operator, said the company has offered a number of incentives in the negotiations, including an average $4-$5 an hour increase in wages and a program that would allow the great majority of employees to qualify for healthcare coverage. But Levy said the union, which represents thousands of area hospitality workers, wants broader healthcare contributions that will "benefit workers who may never work a shift at the United Center."The video in the player above is from a previous report.
