The meal policy is stingy at best. The check delivery time seems to be increasing once again. Nine days is still too many days, especially when non-student workers are paid in the middle of the following week. The safety policy must be extended to include preventative training in all the units before accidents happen. There continues to be no formal sexual harassment policy in UFS and training on the issue for supervisors is scanty and ineffective.
Wages are insultingly low.
Finally, UFS staffs many positions in their units with temporary employees that are provided by an outside agency. Food Services pays the agency a certain amount, which in turn pays the temporary worker around minimum wage. Many of these workers have been at UFS for up to two years, without any raises or benefits. By forming a union, the student workers can ensure that any gains and rights previously won are not lost in bureaucratic shuffles, achieve bargaining power to attain rights and press for the end to the temporary worker injustices.
