On February 9, school cafeteria workers convened at the New Jersey State Capitol building in Trenton to deliver hundreds of appeals to Governor Corzine.  32BJ members are asking the Governor to raise standards in food service contracts, including better wages, benefits and training. 

Across New Jersey, 8,000 school cafeteria workers prepare breakfast and lunch for public school children, but with jobs that pay poverty-level wages and provide few, if any, benefits, many of these workers are struggling to support their own families.
