Dear Sodexo,

This is what happens when you chronically underpay your workers and fail to provide affordable health care coverage:

Meet Marcia Snell. She's hardworking and committed. She's worked for Sodexo for over 10 years at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH.

Marcia had been told by doctors that she must take a blood thinner like Plavix in order to avoid a heart attack or other serious heart conditions. But on her low Sodexo wages, she simply could not afford it. Earlier this month, it caught up with her, and she had to have triple bypass surgery.

The good news is that Marcia came through surgery well and is feeling better. The bad news is that she is worrying about paying her bills instead of focusing on her recovery. She and her son and one of her daughters live together and split up their bills. They all work for Sodexo, and by pooling their wages they just barely make ends meet. Now that Marcia must take off from work to recover, the entire family is facing financial ruin.

Marcia's friends and family have set up a secure PayPal account where anyone can donate to help cover Marcia's expenses while she is recovering and unable to work. Even small donations will go far in helping the family stay on its feet. Just log into PayPal and direct your donation to joe.musick1@gmail.com.

But as Marcia says, this isn't just about her. Sodexo workers across the United States are living on the edge, barely getting by on low wages and inadequate health care.

Sodexo can do better, but workers must organize to make it happen. We hope you'll join with Marcia to clean up Sodexo.
