Aramark Threatens Layoffs In Massachusetts

Apparently, Massachusetts got wise and is bringing in a company better than Aramark at its state convention centers, click here to read more details, so the angry food-service giant is...

...going through the ham-handed motions "notifying" public officials about "possible layoffs" if Aramark can't continue the contract, wahhhh.

What Evil Aramark fails to mention is that so often its employees are treated so badly, and paid so little, and there is such high turnover...that plenty of these employees would end up working the same jobs for the competing company, and would be much happier and better off.

Who is the other company? Well, I don't want to praise them too highly...after all, rumor has it that Aramark competitor Sodexo is just as bad as Aramark, if not worse...but in this case, and according to this article (click here) a company called "Unidine" is coming in. This company sounds very modern, very "green," very decent.

Aramark's idea of being "green" is apparently telling students they aren't allowed to have trays anymore, so they can't get so much chow in the serving line. (Click here for an article, and keep in mind "UDS" at the University of Minnesota is controlled by Aramark) Yeah, that's really green, Aramark.

And we know right where all that "green" ends up.
