After over a year of fighting for unionization, Loyola’s Sodexo workers unionized in May of 2023.
And after months of contract negotiations, they have agreed upon a contract they feel is fair, according to a union representative from UNITEHERE.
The contract, which was signed Feb. 1, offers Sodexo workers an average raise of $1.75 per hour, with some of the lowest paid employees getting more than $4 an hour raises, and scheduled annual pay raises. It also offers healthcare with no deductibles, more paid time off, and a pension, a union representative from UNITEHERE said.
The UNITEHERE representative said with the new benefits, it makes life easier for the Sodexo workers.
