Could YOU Live on a Cafeteria Worker’s Salary?

QWB got this leaflet yesterday. Let’s support the Cafeteria Workers of Travelers’ in any way we can.

COULD YOU LIVE ON A CAFETERIA WORKER’S SALARY?

A Cafeteria Worker employed by Aramark, serving food to the employees of Travelers, earns $9.68 an hour. That’s $387.2o a week before taxes!

The average rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in Hartford is over $700.00 a month. (1)

The average gas price per gallon in Connecticut is $3.83. (2)

After all the bills are paid, would YOU have money left to put food on the table?

Call on Travelers’ Brian Maclean, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President to tell Aramark to Respect its Workers. 860-277-0111.

We Can’t Live on Poverty Wages!
