District 150's "lunch ladies" are making a plea to the public to help them avoid complete outsourcing of food service, which workers say could result in a reduction in wages and benefits, their union being dissolved or a loss of jobs.
The 219 employees have been putting up orange and blue yard signs this week that say "Save Our Lunch Ladies - No Outsourcing #150." About 200 signs have been distributed.
