In early March Gary Snell, a Sodexo employee at Crew Stadium, became sick with Whooping Cough, a highly contagious sickness.  Knowing that it was unsafe to work around food while sick with a contagious illness, Gary did the right thing and called in sick.  Sodexo responded by firing Gary, ignoring his more than five years of dedicated service to the company.

 Gary was targeted by Sodexo for openly supporting his fellow co-workers in forming a union.  Sodexo, although the 21st largest employer in the world with profits over one billion annually, pays poverty wages to their employees.  In addition to poverty wages, Sodexo has also committed human rights violations:

Gary’s fight for justice and a fair job is a struggle that should touch the hearts of all those that are concerned with workers rights at home, and human rights abroad.  Stand with Gary to hold Sodexo accountable and stand with justice!  Demand that Sodexo stop retaliating against workers for union activity.
