Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association are starting funds for workers impacted by the current lockout.
The players are starting a $1 million fund, while a source said the league will be doing something similar.
"Many aren't seen or heard, but they are vital to the entertainment experience of our games," union executive board members Andrew Miller and Max Scherzer said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, they will also be among those affected by the owner-imposed lockout and the cancellation of games. Through this fund, we want to let them know that they have our support."
The union listed broadcast and concession crews, electricians, ushers, security, transportation and janitors as among those needed for MLB games.
