Meanwhile - on the college campus
This seems unreasonable to me.
And, why in the world are students involved in it?...

"Liberty Chick" posts about it At BigGovernment.com:
"So let me get this straight. Students all across the country have suddenly all taken a collective interest in the economic performance of their university’s cafeteria? So, instead of attending classes like grateful students excited to learn, they’re sitting in the middle of a busy intersection at a red light, arm in arm, donning their SEIU-provided purple shirt, blocking traffic and taking cops away from important things – like responding to emergencies. And last week, 20 were arrested for doing this at Ohio State University.
Well, there must be a perfectly good reason, right? Not really. If you follow the 'research' SEIU publishes, you’d think that Sodexo is trying to kill off innocent Americans by tainting the food supply. That’s more an organizing tactic than it is factual information that supports a real safety issue. They’ve been doing that for months with the grade school cafeteria workers. And if you listen to the protesters, the reasons, if they can offer any, are a bit of a stretch. Here, they’re protesting in part that Sodexo isn’t offering full-time work to stadium employees. Students in the second video disrupt a basketball game to make their point. While in the first video, workers and students joined together to rally “for justice.” As one gentleman in the first video explained, the company only gives him hours to work during football season and basketball season. But he wants full-time hours and feels that Sodexo should give him that.
Have these college kids not noticed that they go home on long breaks throughout the year? Are they aware that stadiums have downtime? No students, no events. No sports season, no events. No spectators, no events. No events, no full-time hours. Maybe they should explain that to the workers."
