8
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 3>The Red Sox came up short against the Dodgers at

9
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Fenway last night.

10
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It's in ball right side.

11
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 4>Kim is there over the first and that's the ball game.

12
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers take the opener from the Red Sox five to two.

13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 3>Joe David is on the call for Sportsnet LA. Now,

14
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 3>while the Dodgers put the herd on the Red Sox

15
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 3>inside Fenway parking session workers hit the picket line outside

16
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 3>the old ballpark. Er Mark employees at Fenway and the

17
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 3>MGM Music Hall are in their second day of a

18
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 3>three day strike seeking better pay and other benefit improvements.

19
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>CBS News Boston's Brandon Truitt with more.

20
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 5>Fans who attended Friday night's game say lines at the

21
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 5>concessions seemed longer.

22
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>There are no up in the aisle.

23
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 5>Down the aisle vendors which seem to be weird and

24
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 5>cause a lot of lines in the corridor.

25
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>They're just still stacked up in there. We're like seventy

26
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>people to get a dippin' dots right now.

27
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 2>All of it.

28
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 5>Despite this, the Red Sox organization says Era Mark brought

29
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 5>in back up fully staffing the game, adding fans can

30
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 5>expect a full and uninterrupted ballpark experience this weekend while

31
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 5>negotiations between the two parties continue.

32
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 4>Not against the Red Sox, We're not against the fans.

33
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>If this is a situation with the concessionaire and a

34
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>concessionaire that's trying to pay bottom dollar.

35
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Those who are on strike are really rallying against things

36
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 5>like self checkouts that they say are cutting jobs. This

37
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 5>is the first workers strike in the park's history.

38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 3>And the strike schedule to last through the weekend series,

39
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>with the Dodgers Game two tonight. First pitch is at

40
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 3>seven point fifteen and the trash workers strike against Republic

41
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Services continuing for another week. Republic says that Republic workers

42
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 3>rather not only a major This strike not only a

43
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 3>major headache for many, it's also opening doors for some

44
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>smaller businesses. Here's WBC scandal Bule with that.

45
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>It's the second largest waste management company in the US,

46
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>but as Republic Services finds itself hobbled by the teams

47
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to strike, it's vulnerable to smaller local businesses.

48
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 3>So loo unfortunate on the people that are on shrike

49
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>on their end now obviously been out of work for

50
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 3>three four weeks now, but you know we're going to

51
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 3>kind of capitalize them what the opportunity is.

52
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>That's Lorenzo Popolo, president of Middleton's Viking Disposal Services. He

53
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>says he's gotten a lot of calls for both residential

54
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>and commercial trash collection since the strike started. And it's

55
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 1>not just the collection companies. Co owner of Pro Warrior

56
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.800

<v Speaker 6>People are still willing to just order a roll off

59
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 6>dumb seris and so they know they're getting quality care

60
