Students are getting together on Friday to continue their campaign to get rid of U of T’s top food service provider, Sodexho.
A day of action organized by the Anti-Corporate Rule Action Group (ACRAG) is going to be held on Friday November 16 at 9 pm at Convocation Hall. U of T has refused to release the contract that they have with Sodexho and, according to ACRAG, has refused to act ethically in dealing with Sodexho as a contractor.
“The anti-corporate focus is very much tied to issues of anti-sexism, anti-racism and social justice. Sodexho is tied to the private prison industry, fails to provide culturally appropriate food options (e.g. kosher, vegan, halal), and Sodexho workers are un-unionized and are amongst the lowest paid workers on campus,” said Ruthann Lee, member of ACRAG.
“We want to show that students and alumni have the power to create a fairer and just society by supporting this campaign and attending the events on Friday the 16,” she said.
