PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Aramark workers were once again on the picket line as fans arrived for the Sixers game at the Wells Fargo Center Sunday.



The strike is now entering day five for these employees, who are seeking higher wages and better healthcare benefits.



The group represented by UNITE HERE Local 274, Philadelphia's food service workers' union, called on fans to show their support by not buying food or drinks from Aramark inside the facility.
