SFU Cafeteria Workers are fighting for job security!

February 6, 2017

delegationFood service workers at Simon Fraser University, members of UNITE HERE Local 40, are fighting for jobs. Chartwells, part of the Compass Group, recently issued lay-off notices for all 160 food service workers employed at SFU.

The workers demand that the University guarantee their jobs, benefits, and union contract, and that their years of service to the university be respected. On Friday February 6th, cafeteria workers delivered 1,300 student signatures to SFU President Andrew Petter supporting their demands.

SFU’s student newspaper, The Peak, covered the workers’ delegation. Read more about it here:
