GW union stuff

Looks like the GW food service union is gearing up for another fight against Aramark come November, according to the Hatchet. I'm not sure what I think of the specific set of demands that the union has put forth, but I do know from past experience that Aramark are a bunch of jerks, and ought to be providing their workers with more. Also, they'll need significant leaning-on in order for anything to get done. Students should step up to do this, as we are relatively much safer than the employees in doing so.

I have to question the assumption that Aramark are making a profit, though. I haven't shopped at an Aramark vender yet this semester, and I expect I won't for the remainder. I am not alone. This is why the union will have to fight to include workers at the as-yet non-union shops in J Street and elsewhere. Letting Wendy's and the on-campus Starbucks be non-union was not worth any compensation the union received.
