[Vision2020] Wal- Mart as food retailer.....maybe you should look at Sodexho at the UI

[Kai Eiselein]

Sodexho, that fine supporter of NPR and small coffee farmers in South
America, pays employees at the UI a pittance.
Cases in point:
One employee, with nearly 10 years of service, was making less than $7 an
hour when I left in November.
At least one employee, a father of three, had to recieve foodstamps to feed
his kids.
Each year, insurance rates for employees went up at at a rate equal to or
more than any yearly increase in pay.
Some employees, myself included, were denied raises for nearly two years.
And I was a supervisor.
Entry level custodians were paid more than many of the cooks who prepare
food on campus.
In my opinion, Sodexho, the worlds largest foodservice contractor, makes
Walmart look like a saint.
