We the undersigned call on Richmond Borough Council to insist that Sodexo, the company that provides meals in the schools in richmond, implements the government 'Code of Practice on Workforce Matters' with immediate effect. Fully recompensing school meal workers and bringing an end to the two-tier workforce, paying sick pay and the proper hourly rate for those low paid workers who feed our children.
The feedback from the workers has been heartbreaking to read lately. I am still pushing for a meeting with the council to demand better conditions for these staff members despite the wall of silence I keep hitting.
August 4, 2010
Reaching this point has been a long and draining process that left me questioning if we were ever going to be taken seriously. Knowing that so many people see the injustice these workers face keeps me moving forward despite how exhausted I feel today.

Cant believe this is still going on. Do the right thing and pay the workers a fair wage.

Ridiculous that they are treated like second class citizens. Pay them what they are owed.

My daughter loves the ladies who serve her lunch. They are vital to the school and deserve decent pay.

These people work so hard every single day. They deserve to be paid properly and have sick pay like everyone else. Sort it out council!
