If contract negotiations with dining services operator Sodexo don’t improve, the union representing House cafeteria and catering workers expects some representatives, staff and visitors may have to skip lunch at some point later this year.
“We expect to probably have to do the kind of actions … on the House side like we did on the Senate,” said D. Taylor, president of Unite Here, the union that represents House dining workers.
Last year, Senate cafeteria workers protested and picketed amid negotiations before ratifying a new contract in the fall.
