Executive Diners Could Be Left Hungry By Aramark Strike - 10/03/07

By Jesse Russell

Executive diners could soon be going without lunch if workers for Aramark follow through with strike action. Workers in the cafeterias for companies including CBS and Goldman Sachs and also at the United Nations, could join a strike as their contracts expire over the next few months if the company doesn’t commit to improvements concerning wages, health care, and retirement. Currently workers at Citigroup and New York Life have already approved strike action if necessary.

1. Sports facilities, too

When I was still in Pittsburgh, the food service workers at all the sports venues were Aramark employees. Of course, they were part timers because of corporate America's deep-seated hatred of hiring people for full time with benefits. I knew several of them because they also worked at my school.
