This is a petition to demonstrate student support for the non-renewal of New College's contract with Sodexo the summer of 2012.
Therefore, we call on New College to immediately:
1. Kick out Sodexo. The college must give Sodexo notice that we are terminating our contract with the company.
2. Contractually require the new contractor to respect basic worker rights. Insert the attached “Labor Standards for Food Service Contracts” into the Request For Proposals, making clear that the college will include the same language in its contract with the new food service contractor. These standards include rehiring all current campus workers employed by Sodexo, paying living wages, offering affordable health insurance and respecting the freedom to form unions.
3. Conduct an audit. Enforce the contract by performing a full audit of Sodexo’s financial records from [the beginning of the current contract to present] to determine whether Sodexo has met its contractual requirement to fully return all rebates received from vendors for goods purchased for New College’s dining service account, and publicly release preliminary findings.
I am gathering documentation on Sodexo's rebate history right now to prepare for our meeting with the administration. Email your campus representatives today to demand they review these financial records alongside us. Post the petition link to your Facebook wall so we keep the pressure high while we compile this evidence.
May 2, 2011
We hit a real milestone today and the administration is starting to take notice. Now we transition to direct action so please email your department head to demand they review Sodexo’s conduct. Tell three friends to sign the petition and push this link out on every social channel you have.

Kick them to the curb! Ethical treatment of staff should be a requirement at this school.

How many more years do we have to deal with this garbage? It is time for a change.

The staff are the only reason the dining hall functions. They work so hard and get treated like dirt. Protect the workers!

The food here is honestly embarrassing. We deserve better quality and the workers deserve fair pay. Get them out.
