In the spring of 2011, the Ithaca community rejoiced at the living wage victory for Ithaca College’s Sodexo-employed dining services workers. Beginning in 2010, a workers rights group on campus, Labor Initiative Promoting Solidarity, had partnered with campus workers, the Tompkins County Worker’s Center and various community activists and public officials to pressure both Sodexo and the Ithaca College administration, to pay their workers a living wage. After tirelessly meeting, marching, advocating and making their voices heard, they had won the battle.
