As of right now, Sodexo does not hold a food service contract with Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. And some students would like to keep it that way.

Northeastern students Claire Lewis and Kate Pipa wrote a letter to the editor in today's Huntington News, the student newspaper, expressing their concerns over the university's possible decision to open up a contract to a new food service provider.

"There are many issues to consider, but one company is clearly the wrong choice for our university: That company is called Sodexo."

The letter calls out Sodexo's labor issues at other colleges and universities, including low wages, complaints filed with the National Labor Relations Board, and a large class action lawsuit filed by former workers for race-bias discrimination. The company has contracts with other Massachusetts schools, such as Clark University, Anna Maria College and Merrimack College. Students at all of these schools have been protesting Sodexo's unfair worker treatment over the past year.

The students at Northeastern warned that a contract with a company with a labor record like Sodexo's would clash with the university's standards. Only if Sodexo were to improve workers' hourly wages and working conditions, and acknowledge their legal right to form a union, would Sodexo's presence at Northeastern be accepted.

"We should hold Northeastern to the highest accountability by choosing a food service provider that takes responsibility for its employees' wellbeing and provides for their needs. We should demand fair labor standards at Northeastern and justice for the people who are as much a part of our campus community as the students and professors."
