For the first time in Fenway Park’s 113-year history, concession and restaurant workers went on strike Friday as the Boston Red Sox begin a three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Members of UNITE HERE Local 26, who work for Aramark, providing food services in the historic ballpark and the neighboring MGM Music Hall, had set a strike deadline of noon on Friday to reach an agreement.

As negotiations continue for a new collective bargaining agreement, the union said its key demands are: citywide-standard wages; guardrails on automation; increased gratuity for premium workers who serve season ticket holders and special guests; and fair scheduling that respects workers’ seniority.
