ST. PAUL - UNITE HERE Local 17 called a boycott of Capitol cafeterias after the state of Minnesota awarded the food service contract to a company that won't recognize the employees' union and is laying off workers.
Eighteen long-term cafeteria staff were scheduled to lose their jobs Friday, to be replaced by employees of the new contractor, Wayzata-based Taher Inc.
