EC Students Stand with our Food Service Workers
Emerson students standing in solidarity with our food service workers!
Why is this important?
Here is the Facebook page for the coalition:
https://www.facebook.com/CoalitionofLionsinActionwithWorkers
We are a coalition of Emersonians who are moved by the desire of Emerson's food service workers to improve their economic and working conditions by forming a union. We recognize that if they organize collectively, they will have an opportunity to address these issues directly with Sodexo. We stand strongly with them in their demand for a fair process to allow them to organize.
Therefore:
◊ We believe that all workers, subcontracted and directly hired, are part of the Emerson College community.
◊ We believe that all members of the Emerson College community should be treated with respect and dignity.
◊ We believe that Emerson College should provide fair, secure jobs that pay a living wage.
◊ We believe that all workers should be able to speak out against injustices in the workplace without fear of reprisal.
◊ We urge Emerson College to respect workers’ legal rights to organize a union.
◊ We urge Emerson College to never intimidate nor suppress union organizing, or allow subcontractors to intimidate or suppress union organizing.
