Tony Khan Has No Comment About Stagehands Union Protest Outside Of AEW’s 2300 Arena Show

Khan was asked about the situation during an ROH media call.

All Elite Wrestling kicked off their residency at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on August 27th with AEW Dynamite.

Outside of the arena, there was a protest held by a chapter of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees union in Philadelphia. There was a claim that the wages, benefits, and working conditions might be below the area standard that was negotiated by the local chapter.

Tony Khan was asked about the protest during the pre-ROH Death Before Dishonor media call. He had no comment on the matter.

AEW issued a statement to POST Wrestling about the situation:

All Elite Wrestling has paid, and will continue to pay, the prevailing wages to all locals used as part of our residency at the venue and has maintained a great relationship with IATSE Local 8 for previous events held at other venues in Philadelphia. Any current demonstrations being held are between 2300 Arena and IATSE Local 8.

AEW/ROH will be running events at the 2300 Arena through September 11th.
