More than a dozen school cafeteria workers -- many wearing green AFSCME union T-shirts with gold lettering -- gathered at last night's School Committee meeting and said they worry for their jobs if the school lunch program is privatized.
...... Food service workers say a private company would pay less. They said they currently make roughly $15 an hour.
...... Aramark, Whitsons and Chartwells (Compass Group) were the three companies to submit proposals.
