From my research, it seems to be a union representing hospitality (hotel workers) protesting for better work rules and pay as the World Cup approaches
Protesting is as American as apple pie

Freedom of speech is recognized in this city, but not when you take over private owned buildings. Independence Mall in Philadelphia is the designated First Amendment free speech and public assembly space for Independence National Historical Park. Managed by the National Park Service, the mall provides designated areas—notably the "People's Plaza" near the Liberty Bell Pavilion and National Constitution Center—where visitors can host peaceful protests.
