Issues
- Poverty Wages and Inadequate Health Care
Sodexo workers make as little as $8.27 per hour and often cannot afford the health insurance that the company offers. Even those workers who make a little bit more per hour still hover at or below the poverty line, and some workers struggle to survive on incomes of $17,000 or less -- far below the government's poverty guideline for a family of four ($22,050.)
- Wage Theft
With as little as many Sodexo workers are paid, it's especially remarkable that there are numerous allegations that workers at the company sometimes don't even receive everything the company owes them.
- Discrimination
A number of discrimination suits have been filed against Sodexo, some of which have involved the company paying nearly $1 million to plaintiffs and, in some cases, agreeing to operate under federal consent decrees.
- Unsafe Working Conditions
Sodexo tries to squeeze out every last penny of profit by cutting corners on even the most basic necessities, even if it means compromising the safety working conditions.
- Understaffing
Sodexo's clients have complained that Sodexo inadequately staffed the food service, custodial, or maintenance work at their worksite.
