According to Edward B. Childs, co-chief shop steward at Harvard for Local 26 of the Hotel and Restaurant Workers Union, the University's dining hall shop stewards are united in their support of Hicks.
"We are dealing with work overload that is forcing people to work into their breaks," said Edward B. Childs, chief co-steward of HDS. "It's not just more work, but cut-backs in labor."
Childs said the petitions have been signed by the vast majority of the staff, but added that the lists of signatures will not cross Berry's desk until the union assesses the needs of all the workers--from name-checkers to dishwashers.
"We've heard from the management that certain things that will cutback on the workload will be instituted," said Childs. "But we aren't satisfied."
"Some houses are doubling up on cleaning," Childs said. "It's not across the board, but some cutbacks have been made."
