PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Aramark workers at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia have voted to authorize a strike ahead of Labor Day. The union representing Aramark food service and retail workers, Unite Here Local 274, said 83% of workers voted in favor of a strike on Sunday.

The union said Aramark workers at Lincoln Financial Field, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, have also started casting ballots to authorize a strike. The workers will continue to cast ballots throughout the week and the results will be announced on Friday, according to the union.

Earlier this year, Aramark workers at the Wells Fargo Center, where the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers play, went on strike to fight for better wages and health care.
