On today’s show, we talk with Jason Tower, president of Local 1440 representing workers in Mount Allison’s dining services. The 45 members of Local 1440 received termination notices last week from Aramark, the company under contract with Mount Allison to feed students on campus. Tower says workers are concerned, and recalls the last time his union local lost their contract, after Mount Allison awarded the contract to a new company.
Plus, area schools are closed today due to ongoing and forecasted weather, and reports of localized flooding are popping up on social media.
