UNITE HERE 23 Urges NEA Head to Support Cafeteria Workers(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)UNITE HERE Local 23 is calling on National Education Association (NEA) Executive Director John Stocks to take a stand for NEA cafeteria workers. Seasons Culinary, the food service company that operates the cafeteria in the NEA headquarters “is still refusing to accept a contract that would give its workers the same benefits and protections as at other DC UNITE HERE Local 23 cafeterias,” reports Allison Burket of Local 23. Seasons employees at NEA pay almost double what employees pay for benefits at other DC UNITE HERE Local 23 cafeterias, the union says. “We recognize NEA Executive Director John Stocks for his national leadership on immigrant and workers' rights,” Burket says. “We urge him to take a stand for the workers who serve the NEA staff.”  The local is also urging supporters to click here to send an email to the partners of Seasons Culinary to demand a fair contract now. photo: recent UNITE HERE rally against Seasons at NEA; photo by Chris Garlock
