| This past spring, New College students in Sarasota, Florida, joined with CIW and Interfaith Action representatives to deliver a petition containing hundreds of student signatures to the campus foodservice company, Sodexo, calling on Sodexo to follow the example of other foodservice leaders and join in partnership with the CIW to improve farm labor wages and working conditions. |
Sodexo — “lone holdout” among major foodservice companies — under attack on campus for failing to reach Fair Food agreement with CIW…
By almost any measure, the Student/Farmworker Alliance’s “Dine with Dignity” campaign has been a tremendous success.
Since just April of last year, the SFA has helped the CIW secure Fair Food agreements with three of the foodservice industry’s four leading companies — Bon Appetit, Compass, and Aramark. Each of those agreements has helped raise the bar toward ever stronger, more enduring human rights standards for farmworkers in Florida’s tomato fields.
But there is one foodservice company — Paris-based Sodexo — that remains, stubborn and alone, standing against the tide of change.
