SGA discusses Aramark conflict
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on an SGA discussion about whether to support Aramark workers during contract negotiations.
- The News-Letter reported that a bill calling for SGA support of the workers and a fair contract faced opposition from members who wanted neutrality or more information.
- The paper reported that bill sponsor Archie Henry said the proposal was meant to show student awareness and support, while the article says his bill cited a petition signed by more than 900 students.
- The article adds that Executive President Mark Dirzulaitis urged members to support a quick and fair resolution without taking sides.
- The reporter writes that members questioned whether the SGA had enough information because the negotiations were confidential and Aramark had not spoken with the SGA.
- The News-Letter reported that the bill was tabled for further discussion, with a vote planned for the following week after members gathered more information.
