The four-year deal, reached late Thursday night, came two days before the workers’ contract expired, and averts a strike by 1,900 members of Unite Here Local 634.
Nicole Hunt, Local 634 president, speaks to Philadelphia School District cafeteria and climate workers at a Sept. 21 rally. The union, which represents 1,900 members, many of whom now make $15.50 an hour, inked a tentative contract late Thursday night.The 1,900 people who prepare and serve Philadelphia School District students’ food and monitor schools’ hallways and playgrounds have a tentative contract that comes with raises and more benefits and equipment.
The union also won three personal days for climate staff, across the board. Some employees with limited hours had only gotten one personal day under the last contract.Initially, the district had balked on the $1.50-an-hour raises 634 asked for, and union members — and elected officials — publicly called out school leaders in rallies and at the September school board meeting.
