Mayo Clinic decision to outsource food service strikes nerve

Workers and community members have signed petitions objecting to the move


The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is facing criticism for its plan to subcontract food service operations to an Atlanta-based conglomerate, according to an article on the Workday Minnesota website.

Workers and community members have signed petitions objecting to the move at the same time that Mayo seeks millions in public dollars to support its “destination medical center,”  the article said.

Some 600 employees across Minnesota will be affected.

Mayo said it will allow us to deliver consistent and enhanced food and nutrition options to our patients, visitors and staff. A spokesperson said workers will all be offered jobs with Morrison at the same salary through a phased transition over the next 12 to 18 months.
