It's also the beginning of the season for the workers at the food sales concessions at AT&T Park. Their employer is the Centerplate corporation.
There's something easy fans can do to let Centerplate know their workers should get a raise:Since 2010, the Giants have won two World Series Championships
- Team Value up 40%
- Attendance of 10 Million fans
- Ticket Prices up 20%
Wages for Centerplate concession workers up 0%
- Beer Prices up to $10.25

Californians take cheap labor for granted. It's always been the foundation of the state's prosperity.
How can this change?
@Hattie -- in this case, the path is clear. Concessionaires should negotiate with the union (Hotel and Restaurant Workers Local 2) that works with these workers. These are long term, citizen employees.
Locally, we're doing better by our low wage workers -- city sponsored health program (using restauranteurs tax dollars), reducing random deportations, etc. The great draw for unskilled labor remains the agricultural sector. That's a hard case.
