The
workers are calling for five specific changes they plan to present to the school board during a Wednesday meeting: soliciting input from lunchroom staff to help improve school food,
offering more training and education for lunchroom
workers, adding collective bargaining language that protects
workers» right to talk about the food to parents and kids, building working
kitchens in all new schools, and ceasing the replacement of fresh food with frozen and reheated fare.
Similarly, the opening of a host of new restaurants at PREIT's Plymouth Meeting Mall — P.F. Chang's, Redstone Grill, Dave and Buster's and California Pizza
Kitchen — spurred a promotional campaign financed by the owner and aimed at nearby office
workers, who received
offers of discounts and freebies.
