Concessions workers at the United Center have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike that could start anytime.
About 700 employees at the United Center are members of Unite Here Local 1, a union representing staff at hotels, casinos and other venues. Unite Here spokeswoman Maria Hernandez said 98% of workers voting on the issue favored the strike.
“We will do whatever it takes to get what is needed,” said Tawanda Murray, an attendant who said she started soon after it opened in 1994.
