Fresh off of a rally outside Sodexo's U.S. headquarters, more than a dozen Sodexo workers from the United States are off to take their message to the company's annual shareholder meeting in Paris, France.

The mood was right and the excitement was in the air yesterday as the workers arrived in Gaithersburg, MD, holding home-made signs and banners, and advocated on behalf of their coworkers at home and other Sodexo workers throughout the country.

Watch the video here:

After the rally, the workers headed to the airport, and are arriving in Paris today.

Throughout the upcoming week, we'll be telling the stories of each of the workers, and following them during their journey in Paris.
