The school has confirmed that our current cafeteria staff will be retained by the incoming provider. This outcome ensures that the people who built our community remain a part of it. I appreciate the resolve you showed in insisting that loyalty should be valued over simple convenience.

As you probably know by now, Sonia's will no longer be operating our law school cafeteria next year. What you might not know is that the new company that has been hired is under no obligation to keep our current Sonia's staff on board. The school has assured us that the Sonia's staff will be given the opportunity to interview for the new company, but there is no guarantee that they will be re-hired.
For those of us who visit Sonia's regularly, the staff are a part of our Loyola family. We complain to them about our classes and finals, we watch sports with them, practice our Spanish and French with them, and drink the coffee faster than they can make it. But no matter how busy things get, they always do their best to keep up with us and they do it with positive attitudes and good humor. They deserve more than an opportunity to interview, they deserve to be given priority over other applicants.
The school is already cutting back in so many areas despite the fact that tuition and other student expenses continue to rise. I t's time we had greater say in the changes our school is making. By signing this petition, you'll be letting the school know that we take loyalty to members of our Loyola family seriously, and we are not okay with them losing their jobs just so the school can maximize profits.

Please keep the current staff. They go beyond food service. They know my go-to breakfast and never forget to wish me luck on exams! They're the best around.
The Sonia's team is as much a part of the LLS family as the other staff, faculty and students. If it were between renovating Sonia's and the Sonia's staff being laid off, and keeping Sonia's as-is, I'd keep Sonia's as-is in a heartbeat. Slightly better food isn't worth putting part of our law school family out of a job.
Loyola continues to hike up tuition while cutting corners where it really matters... Like having hot food made at Sonias, longer hours, and THE WONDERFUL STAFF. Id take them over our useless student lounge any day. Thanks Loyola... Keeping it classy.
Loyola has cut so many expenses - yet the classrooms still have broken chairs and tables. Students pay over $300 a semester JUST TO PARK. Tuition keeps rising, We pay ALL this money and the only thing that happens is that things keep getting taken away! The staff at Sonia's cares about me more than any administrator ever has - and they just make lunch for me! Just a chance to interview? Give me a break - they should be guaranteed the positions they have now.
The staff that has operated Sonia's is an essential part of Loyola: they brighten up our days, and constitute an unacceptable loss if replaced... What would we do without Mamasita or Irving, to name but a few!?
I love the current staff! Irving and Mariam are super friendly and very helpful. I look forward to getting my food everyday because of them. I also like chefs and other employees in the back. I don't know their names because it's hard to have a conversation over the kitchen area glass, but they are very friendly as well. They are a part of my Loyola family, and I want them to stay.
We love the Sonia's staff!

I love the current Sonia's staff! *they know their customers and really make an effort to remember specific preferences and what people do and do not like in regards to their meals. *they remember all the details you tell them when you order. Whether you want it to go, or the salsa on the side, or whole wheat tortilla, or extraavocado. *they work really fast and are able to handle multiple orders at once, within a reasonable amount of time. *they are so pleasant and friendly, and their smiles and terms of endearment really make a difference when us students are stressed out and cranky and hungry and tired. They are all amazing and memorable and they really do make a difference in the whole law school experience.
