On my way out of class today at George Mason University, I happened to stumble across a labor strike. The strike was spearheaded by none other than the usual suspects: the SEIU.
Once I realized that I had been surrounded by the marching purple shirts I decided to start asking some questions. I spoke with Tanya Aquino who informed me that she was the communications person on-site from the SEIU. She told me that the SEIU does not have a formal relationship with Sodexo but that they are attempting to set up shop inside of Sodexo. Aquino said that they have “been met with retaliation” over their attempts to organize.
The protesters marched from George Mason’s
Patriot Center to the Johnson Center. Below is their organized
performance outside of the Johnson Center around 2 pm. They obstructed
students on their way to class and made quite the commotion
.
