Campus dining workers at Loyola University Chicago celebrate after voting to join UNITEHERE.


After months of organizing, more than 200 campus dining workers at Loyola University Chicago voted for a voice on the job, choosing to join UNITEHERE! Local 1.

Janet Irving, a member of the worker organizing committee, says:

I feel blessed. A union means a better life for me and my family.

The Loyola workers join dining workers at DePaul University who are also members of Local 1 and who recently won a new contract, which includes significant improvements in wages and health care benefits as well as protections for immigrant workers.

Loyola dining service worker Eva Rangel adds:

I love taking care of the students in the dining halls, and I feel great that now I will get to do it as a union member.
