Dining labor costs: Hofstra workers ratify a three-year contract with record raises

About 120 food service workers at Hofstra University, represented by Local 1102 RWDSU/UFCW, voted unanimously to ratify a new three-year contract with the campus dining provider. The union says it includes the largest wage increases ever negotiated for the unit, higher 401(k) contributions, reporting-pay guarantees and expanded new-hire orientation language.

Why it matters for directors: Campus dining pay settlements are resetting local wage expectations; benchmark your frontline pay and benefits against nearby campuses before your next contract or budget cycle.
