NYC Cafeteria Workers Stand Up to Aramark

While Wall Street brokers are considering how to spend their multi-million dollar holiday bonuses, cafeteria workers just across the serving line from them—employed by food service giant Aramark—are figuring out how to make ends meet as they face a second year without a cost-of-living raise.

On Dec. 20th, these workers at the landmark New York Life building, who have been on strike for six weeks now, joined fellow Aramark cafeteria workers at the Bank of New York building. Those workers voted unanimously to authorize their own strike against Aramark that Thursday morning.

If the global facilities giant doesn’t commit to giving the workers their fair share, additional Aramark workers from across the city—who serve breakfast and lunch at four Goldman Sachs locations, five JP Morgan Chase locations, Citigroup, CBS, and the United Nations—could also join the strike.
