We support food service workers at Emory University

It is shameful that an academic institute will tolerate a corporation to hold a session that was deemed to be anti union. The session was tilted heavily toward presenting the negatives of unionizing, in the aim of thwarting the wishes of food service employees to organize and become a union.

It is refreshing to see that the students are standing in solidarity with the blue collar workers. However the administration was silent, maybe taking the approach of wait and see which is not appropriate. We here in why did you join the union believe those workers have the right to organize and create a union to get a fair representation. It is also disturbing to note that the workers were so afraid to even reveal their identity.

We here in why did you join the union are very proud of the students and it is true that their parents pay for their education. Thus the administration may keep their workers around even though they realize that those food service workers are seasonal employees due to the solidarity of the students.
