The reason for kicking out people was obligations the employer holds for personnel (securities and support staff). They needed to send the employees home because it was getting too late in the night and their shifts were ending.
How tf FOM did not see this coming is unbelievable. It’s literally advertised as a night race, they should have known that there is a possibility for delays. I have never seen anything like this in Europe, where most countries arguably have stronger wodker protection laws. How did they not have another team on hold that could take on those responsibilities?
“everybody go home. we’re too greedy to pay overtime… and too cheap to have enough workers vetted and on the payroll, ready-to-work if and when needed.”
I understand that they didnt expect this particular incident. But sessions being delayed isnt some magical new thing. It happens all the time. They shouldn’t have organized the personnel in a way that they were already maxed out by default.

Unions basically. In America Unions have the power. If they had gone home late last night, there would be a labour war going on in relation to Sunday

Closing the stands under those circumstances is understandable, albeit reflects poorly on the organization and planning.
Refusing to issue a refund afterwards is completely unreasonable.
You would think a class action lawsuit is possible.

But only hiring barely enough people in order to maximize profits is the American Way! Why hire 2 people if you can overwork and underpay 1?
Cost effectiveness

The unions are far more powerful in Europe.
Unions requiring reasonable hours doesn’t explain why they had no backup
It’s the employers responsibility to get more shifts to cover the whole event… Not the unions
