SEATTLE (AP) — A University of Washington sit-in to protest the food services company that supplies the concessions at UW athletic facilities has led to the arrests of about 25 students.
Protest organizer Morgan Currier says the students were cited Wednesday evening for trespassing and released.
The sit-in took place first in the office of Interim UW President Phyllis Wise, then in a conference room.
Students are demanding that Wise sever a contract with Sodexo. They allege the global company has a history of abusing workers’ rights, something Sodexo denies.
