Group working to protect workers' rights at F&M

A student group has begun an investigation at F&M into the treatment of employees of the college's custodial and food services staff, both employed by outside contractors Aramark and Sodexo. They are examining both college policies and Pennsylvania law and working to ensure that these contract employees are treated in accord with state and federal regulations (both Aramark and Sodexo have a history of workers' rights violations). Many of these employees do not receive benefits and experience very little job security. This project involves both legal research and a continued discussion of how workers are (and should be) treated by both society and the law.

Students interested in participating in this project should contact Laura Morse '12 at laura.morse@fandm.edu. The Workers' Rights Group also meets at 11:30am on Tuesdays in Stager Hall room 112.
