COMPLAINTS ROLLING IN ABOUT SERVICE GIANT
Kenyon has chosen a new food-service provider, replacing the Aramark Corporation with AVI Foodsystems, an Ohio-based company that College officials say will offer greater variety and more creative choices in the dining halls, a stronger commitment to the Food for Thought program, better catering service at College events, and innovations like a grab-and-go food cart in the library atrium.
I worked as a manager for Aramark in the William Penn School District for one year and had many high praise from many of the teachers and principles as well as workers of the school district. I took this job because it was so close to where I lived, approximately 3 miles.
Lee County Schools, Pennsylvania, terminated its contract with Aramark to provide employee training, supplies and cleaning equipment. School administrators maintained that in-house staff would do a better job because they are held accountable and take more pride in maintaining school buildings.

Is Aramark in Violation Of Its Contract?
I have frist hand knowledge of how Aramark is in most of the schools and jails. I have noticed that they cheat. We give the inmates and juvnilles milk with thier meals.
A former foodservice manager for Aramark's Campus Dining division, who said he was threatened with a transfer for failing to fire disabled employees, plans to sue the food management firm, according to his attorney.
The problem with Aramark's treatment of its employees runs quite deep.

Many of those may be rehired by the company that takes its place.
Federal court statistics show that plaintiffs filed nearly 4,200 cases under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs pay practices, in fiscal 2006, which ended Sept. 30.

Should Aramark attend classes at the College of Business Administration? I would say so.

One would assume that a company that wished to stay in business would let its customers dictate the type of services that should be provided.
