POLICE BUST AT PURCHASE COLLEGE, SUNY

as Workers and Students Demonstrate for a

Union for Food Service Workers with

            Iris Semidey, Chartwells food service worker

Jessee Lehrer, Purchase student activist

Rose Goldstein Bookbinder, Purchase student activist

Charles Barley, CSEA, AFSCME Organizer

 

Despite students and faculty pleas, Chartwells Food Service Co. a

subsidiary of Compass, a multi-billion dollar multinational corporation,

refuses to allow the food service workers on the Purchase Campus of

SUNY to form a union. Many of these workers make about $14,000/yr.

and pay too much for health insurance. Thirteen students were arrested

recently after they marched across campus and attempted to deliver

Chartwells’ CEO, Steve Sweeney, who was speaking on campus, an

award for being the worst employer on campus. The workers and students

are now protesting the use of excessive police force at this demonstration

and a calling for an independent investigation of the Administration’s

handling of the non-violent protest.

 Food Services workers UNITE, good luck to all the workers and the union at SUNY PURCHASE..F**ck union busters! Hails-Tee -l- \m/
