Summer update...

Currently, the majority of Loyola's Sodexo workers are at home, unemployed, and barely getting by on their savings and state unemployment benefits. Sodexo terminates them at the end of each academic year without letting them know whether or not they'll be rehired in the fall. So this is a rough time in their lives as they grapple with uncertainty and serious financial strain.

Even while dispersed across the city and across the nation, the Sodexo workers are not giving up. They're meeting amongst themselves, staying strong together, and building a plan to win in the Fall. And they need STUDENT SUPPORT during this vulnerable summer time.

If you are in town and reading this blog, get in contact with me [chadpcarson[at]gmail] and I'll plug you in to the summer student movement.
