Many of these food service employees have tried to combat the low wages of large corporations like Sodexo and Aramark by joining unions. The two major unions that have taken interest in the cafeteria workers are UNITE HERE, and SEIU. In some universities other workers have joined together on their own accord, and have protested the low wages through strikes. Unions and organization has helped the workers raise their wages on occasion, but may times unions like UNITE HERE and SEIU take advantage of low status members like those in the food service industry.
