Tulane students and workers march on Sodexo management

Actions are heating up over at Tulane.  Both Loyola and Tulane contract their food service with Sodexo and even share a unified meal plan system.  Workers and students are organizing at Tulane as well as at Loyola.  On March 24, Tulane Sodexo workers presented their wishes to form a union to Sodexo management.  Students rallied in support of these brave workers.  The action coincided with author Barbara Ehrenreich's speaking engagement at Tulane. Ehrenreich met with Sodexo workers as well as students from Loyola and Tulane and even marched alongside them as they presented a letter to President Cowan and Sodexo management.

Watch the video to see how Sodexo management treats workers who organize for better working conditions. 

(Hint #1: its with total disgust and disregard for human decency.) 
(Hint #2: workers talk to management at the 3:00 minute mark)
