Pablo Rivera: Utilities
“I have been working for Sodexo six days a week since January 23, 2010. This semester I was forced to quit because I started as a student at Clark’s COPACE program. I told my boss last year that I was going to start taking classes this fall and that my classes might interfere with my work schedule. Even though I told my boss ahead of time I was not given the chance to work around my hours for the two days I have classes. Instead I was forced to choose between getting an education or continuing working the same schedule. As a member of the Clark community I support the union because it gives workers who are having issues and problems in their jobs a chance to talk about it and take action all together. It is more successful when all of us come together instead of fighting individually.”

“I am in support for a union because I want for all of us to have access to affordable healthcare and better wages.”
William McNamara: Dishwasher
“I have worked at Clark for 14 years, but last spring I was laid off for the entire semester. Sodexo said that they had to lay me off because there was a lack of work, even though I came to know they hired new workers. I was hired back this year for only two days a week. I currently make only $10 an hour after having work here for more than 14 years. I support the union because I want the workers to have a voice in the workplace. I also think it would help the students and the workers to unite.”
