What kind of company do you want cooking your meals next year? How about a company engaged in so much illegal treatment of its employees that it was forced to shut down a dining hall for a day? Right now, Northeastern is deciding whether to extend its contract with our current food service provider, Chartwells, or to award the lucrative contract to a different company. There are many issues to consider, but one company is clearly the wrong choice for our university: That company is called Sodexo.
Sodexo is not a smart choice for Northeastern. The company’s poor treatment of employees is so extreme that in April, hundreds of workers walked off the job in protest at the University of Pittsburgh and George Mason University, where the dining halls were forced to completely close down to students.
We want workers on campus to be treated fairly and we don’t want to invite a company with labor disputes so extreme that they would prevent students from being fed….
