It's definitely a classy move to help out the concession workers.

"Occasionally you see people expressing their frustration. Most times peacefully. Sometimes not. ... I've been very careful to not speak on politics. It is difficult for people to pull themselves up if the jobs that were here for the prior generations are no longer available."

All employees too.

Hopefully the Orioles have changed the practices towards their workers. CVS and other companies also paid employees during the unrest. I hope John Angelos means what he said and not just earning points like many others.

Cherkis said, however, that the new law applies only to full-time employees, not the temporary and part-time workers UWA is organizing, including the 150 temp workers employed at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. That sports stadium, owned by the state of Maryland, is leased to Orioles baseball team owner Peter Angelos. He subcontracts with Michigan-based Knight Facilities Management (KFM) to clean the stadium both during and after Orioles games. KFM charges each of the temp workers $6 fare for the van that carries them to and from the stadium. When that is subtracted, the workers earn less than Maryland’s $6.15 an hour minimum wage.

Actually the minimum wage in Maryland is $8.00. Except for certain occupations:

Maryland's minimum wage is $8.00 per hour. This is greater than the Federal Minimum Wage. You are entitled to be paid the higher wage.

The minimum wage is $8.00 per hour for most employees in Maryland, with exceptions for tipped employees, some student workers, and other exempt occupations.[1]

Maryland raised their minimum wage to $8.00 per hour in January 2015, the first time it was raised above the Federal Minimum Wage. Future minimum wage raises are scheduled to $8.25 per hour on July 1, 2015, $8.75 per hour on July 1, 2016, $9.25 on July 1, 2017, and $10.10 on July 1, 2018.Before these raises were enacted, Maryland adopted the current Federal Minimum Wage rate by reference. One notable exception to the Maryland minimum wage any small food service business (such as restaurants, taverns, and drug stores) grossing under $250,000 a year.

The articles are from years back.I was just showing how the employees were treated Also when Delaware North took over the concessions ,many employees had to reapply for the same job at lower wages and loss of seniority. Hope John Angelos is really for these workers.
