Found this in another article; PSIEU = Pittsburgh Stadium Independent Employees Union

quote:

PSIEU President and 44-year employee Mike Kelly said ushers earned $9 an hour in 2005. Almost two decades later, Kelly said they are making $9.35 an hour.

"Acrisure is making $15 this year," Kelly said. "They're offering us $12.40. That math is pretty simple."

The union claims the average usher pay across the country is $13.80. At the latest negotiation, the union said the Pirates offered them $12.40.


PNC Park ushers say they want a fair wage

They are offering a 33% raise. Sounds like a decent raise to me

How long has the union been involved and why have they not been able to negotiate a better deal before now?

Go figure Pittsburgh has to deal with unionized employees for ticket scanning

They should automate the ticket scanning process and employ 1/3 of the current workforce as the solution.
