MP JOAN Walley wants the law changed to safeguard food standards in public buildings after the storm over meals served at the region's biggest hospital.
Ms Walley, pictured, has introduced a Private Members' Bill which would set legal standards for food served in hospitals, schools, to the armed forces and at care homes.
Two years ago, the Stoke-on-Trent North MP demanded improvements at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire (UHNS). It came following a surge in complaints after catering giant Sodexo took over the trust's multi-million meals contract.

Truth about sodexo
The truth about Sodexo = please note Peter Collins (Echo) drummer boy for MetrixWar Profiteer of the Month:
Sodexho
"Sodexho is committed to Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and in developing Public Private Partnerships (PPP), both as a Facilities Management (FM) service provider and as an equity investor" Sodexho UK website.
Without British and American government policies over the last twenty years encouraging the privatisation of public services known as Public Private Partnership, Sodexho would probably have stayed an inoffensive medium-sized catering company. 'Privatisation' and the lucrative contracts that go with it have turned Sodexho into a multinational giant
The Military
Apart from helping Multinationals exploit natural resources, Sodexho's Remote Site Management also help pave the way for the military, In this area, the U.S. Military are their biggest customer. The Center for Public Integrity reveals that Sodexho won a US$324,000 contract to provide food and equipment in Afghanistan.
In 2001, the US Marine Corps also awarded Sodexho Inc. an US$850 million contract to serve meals at 55 Marines Corps mess halls. They 
also support t the French army and UN's KFOR in Kosovo, NATO in Kabul, and the US forces in South Korea, as well as supplying the 379th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron in Qatar.
Enviromental destruction
Sodexho has contracts with numerous natural resource exploiting companies such as BP Amoco, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum, Shell, Texaco, Bechtel, Daewoo, Hyundai, Caspian Drilling, Rio Tinto and Halliburton. One of Sodexho notably un-environmental projects includes collaborating with the destruction of mangrove swamps on Bonny Kingdom, at the southern edge of River State, in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.
Prisons
The prison industry accounts for 1% of Sodexho's total revenue. In addition to providing ancillary services (food, grounds keeping, etc.) to a number of prisons throughout continental Europe, Sodexho Alliance owns for profit private prison companies in the U.K. and Australia. Overall, Sodexho have some involvement with ninety one prison facilities in the U.K., Australia, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands.
Anti-Unionist
At http://www.workersliberty.org/node/2719yo can find information about the anti-unionist policy of Sodexho.
So war, prisons, anti-unionism and oil. All this and so much more!!
For more information http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=347
At least seven detainee suicides have taken place at Harmondsworth and in 2006, the Inspectorate found that the Sodexo guards had only two noose-cutters in the 500 bed facility.

A Message from North Glasgow Hospitals Branch, Unison
To all friends and supporters,300 staff employed by private contractor Sodexho at Glasgow Royal Infirmary struck for 2 days this week in pursuit of a pay claim, including the demand of restoration of full NHS Whitley equivalent Terms and Conditions, £5 hour minimum wage, 5% or £1000, 35 hour week; abolishing the 2 tier workforce. Our members currently earn £4.20- £4.67 hour, with minimal sick pay, no shift allowances, time 1⁄4 only for overtime etc., All of their conditions were hived off for profit for Sodexho. Their Chief executive, Pierre Bellon, has an estimated personal wealth of £1.3 billion.
Sodexho, a multinational company who profit from private prisons, detention centres as well as hospitals and other public services across the world, cynically planned in advance to try and undermine the strike with scab labour from across Britain. They flew people from Liverpool and Ipswich as well as other areas in England. Some were from Fife and Gleneagles. They were put up in Hotels and paid £10 hour, well over double the pay of our members. We are reliably informed that quite a number came from the Liverpool Women's Hospital particularly. We have evidence that many of the scabs had no NHS experience, food hygiene certificates or other relevant training. We raised serious Health & Safety and security concerns. Scabs with no means of identification were put on security duty!
Human Rights record? Separate but Equal: Alive and Well at Sodexho Feature Story from civilrights.org Racism
Last year, Sodexho settled one of the largest racial discrimination lawsuits involving managerial promotions. The plaintiffs claim that the company illegally and systematically passes over African-American employees in favor of white employees for promotions, even when the white candidate has less seniority and fewer qualifications than the black candidate. In addition, African-Americans who are promoted to managerial positions are segregated to worksites in traditionally black areas, like inner-city schools and historically black universities.
The racism permitted by Sodexho goes beyond promotion practices. One high-level manager said that African-Americans are genetically inferior to whites, and generally most of the criminals in the world are African-Americas.
THE WHOLE system behind the vouchers for refugees is designed to put profit before need. Sodexho, the French conglomerate which administers the vouchers, took over US firm Marriott in 1998. Workers were not allowed to join the union and were banned from talking about their working conditions.
The firm was forced to back off after the US labour relations board condemned this suppression of free speech as unconstitutional. However, Sodexho continued its union busting operation by organising strike-breaking of New England hospital workers. Now US university students have targeted Sodexho as part of their campaign against sweatshops.
Sodexho supplies campus dining services, and is also the largest investor in US private prisons. The students have forced Sodexho off campuses at Evergreen State University in Olympia, south of Seattle, and at the State University of New York. Let's keep up the fight to scrap New Labour's vouchers and score a victory against a multinational firm.

Student campaign against Sodexho, a French multinational which is one of three global giants that dominate institutional food services, focused on its ownership of private prisons (which the company still operates in England and Australia, despite its divestiture from the Corrections Corporation of America). Vulnerable because of the campaign, Sodexho also faces further problems if it resists unionization of its workers by HERE. Recently the president of Xavier University in Ohio instructed Sodexho to recognize the union if a majority of workers sign union cards.

French partner in defence college project wants good relations with St Athan
Apr 14 2009 by Peter Collins, South Wales Echo
Caterer wants good relations
THE head of the French contract catering company which is a leading partner in the Defence Technical College project at St Athan has said team work and good relations with the community will be vital.
Sodexo was appointed a joint equity partner in the Metrix consortium, which will build and run the £12bn college at the former RAF base. It replaces Land Securities’ Trillium which withdrew from the project last December.
The appointment raised some eyebrows in the City and elsewhere because Sodexo had previously been a non-equity partner in the project, responsible for “soft” facilities management such as cleaning, security and cateringThe truth about METRIX

Officers mess
From Private Eye no 1230 20 Feb 2009
So desperate is the government to cling to its £12bn PFI scheme to privatise defence training, involving the construction of a huge new "defence academy" in South Wales, it has happily replaced the building company with ...a caterer!
The deal was originally lined up with Metrix, a consortium owned 50/50 by technology company Qinetiq and property developer Land Securities. On this dream ticket " Metrix achieved the highest technical score" and was named "preferred bidder".
When Land Securities withdrew in December because of delays and cost overruns, the Ministry of Defence scrambled around desperately for a replacement. As the deal requires the owners to stump up hundreds of millions in hard to come by capital, only one firm came forward: French caterer Sodexo. The MoD bit its hand off without apparently considering whether this affected the "highest technical" qualities it was once so keen on.
The defence training project was intended in the words of former defence minister Derek Twigg , to "focus on how best to improve our accommodation and training facilities, and meet our commitments following the review by Nicholas Blake QC [into the deaths of five trainees at Deepcut] to improve support, welfare and well being of our trainees". Which makes Sodexo an odd choice. In 2006 Harmondsworth immigration centre, run by Sodexo subsidiary Kalyx was condemned by prisons inspector Anne Owers for "failing to provide a safe and stable environment"

Whilst there is nothing new in the articles it is of interest that the main stream media are now focusing on issues that we and PCS have been raising for the past few years.

Credit crisis puts £12bn MoD training project in jeopardy
* Defence training review20delayed for two years
* Downturn may finish off PFI scheme, says ministry
• Richard Norton-Taylor The Guardian, Monday 9 February 2009
• Article history
The government's biggest private finance initiative, a multibillion-pound plan to hive-off training for the armed forces, is in trouble, subject to delays, financial problems, and increases in cost, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The long-planned project, known as the defence training review, first proposed a decade ago, has been put off for at least two years and its estimated initial cost has risen from £11bn to £12bn. The entire project is in doubt, according to independent observers.
Even inside the MoD, there is scepticism despite official optimism. "No decisions have been made, it involves a huge amount of money and the [current] proposal does not meet the needs," a defence official told the Guardian.
Problems faced have been compounded by the economic and banking crisis. Under PFIs, government departments and public institutions, such as schools and hospitals, sign decades-long contracts with firms who then run and finance the projects by borrowing funds.
The idea behind the review is to contract out training for the navy, army, and RAF in a single place, a former RAF aircraft repair base at St Athan, south Wales. Training establishments are currently scattered around the country.
The project involves planning applications and big investments in infrastructure projects as well as the sale of large amounts of existing MoD property. Defence officials have expressed doubts about the impact on military ethos.
Mark Pritchard, Conservative MP for The Wrekin, who stands to lose the Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering at Cosford in his constituency if the project goes ahead, describes it as a "privatisation too far".
He added: "St Athan does not have the infrastructure so it needs new roads etc. We have all that in the West Midlands."
The consortium and finance is unravelling, he continued, giving the MoD a "massive headache". He called on ministers to make an urgent statement in the Commons on the project.
A consortium called Metrix, consisting of Qinetiq, the MoD's privatised former research and development agency and Land Securities Trillium as equity partne rs, was set up to finance and manage the project. But Land Securities recently dropped out, leaving Qinetiq having to look for a new partner.
The review has two phases. The first, now estimated to cost £12bn, covers technical training, including aeronautical engineering and communications and information systems. The second phase, would include logistics, personnel administration, security, languages, intelligence, and photography.
In a statement to the Guardian, the MoD said the project had been "more difficult and prolonged than expected" and could fall victim to the "abnormal market environment" - a reference to its dependence on banks affected by the credit crunch.
The MoD also appeared to be referring to the collapse of the commercial property market and the problems that it may have selling its existing property.
It said "considerable progress has been made towards achieving an affordable, value for money, acceptable and deliverable project". But no contract was likely to be signed until next year at the earliest.
John Smith, Labour MP for the Vale of Glamorgan, which includes the St Athan site, said "the momentum is well and truly with the scheme". He added: "The MoD will find the money."
A spokesman for Metrix told the Guardian: "The programme is going well."
Such confidence is not widely shared. "By ploughing on, the MoD is wasting more and more money. The whole thing is a mess," said Alex Flynn, spokesman for the Public and Commercial Services Union which represents many of the workers involved.
Mark Hellowell, research fellow at Edinburgh University and an expert on PFI, told the Guardian: "Even if the project was affordable, the liquidity in the banking sector is not there to fund it. Given market conditions, it seems likely that some form of government intervention is necessary."

Sodexo Meals Support Deportation and Oppression
Who is Sodexo?
The story behind Sodexo (tippped to replace LST and have a major role in Metrix) -
Sodexo shame - prisons, Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) near Heathrow Airport, the largest deportation center in the U.K.
Sodexo Meals Support Deportation and Oppression the story from facebook
A capacity-building group for everyone who is aware that Sodexo Alliance "builds, finances, and manages" 127 prisons in 7 countries around the world, profiteering high crime rates, working class, and racial socio-economic oppression.
Students in over 900 United States school districts, colleges, and universities are purchasing Sodexo meal plans and spending their lunch money that augments the financial capital Sodexo can use to bid on and build prisons.
There is a great chance that Sodexo is your school's food contractor.
In at least four countries, Sodexo finances and manages the operation of their prisons beyond simply food provision.
In the U.K. they have an exclusive decades-long contract for Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) near Heathrow Airport, the largest deportation center in the U.K.
From that facility, asylum seekers from Zimbabwe, Iraq, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and many other impoverished, war-torn nations have endured the "worst" conditions ever reported by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons. They are deported in military jumpsuits on military planes back to airports to areas of their countries they are not familiar with. Often, they are not adequately checked for signs of torture and testimonials indicate many have disappeared or been killed after extrication.
The process is called "fast track deportation" by U.K. bureaucrats.
At least seven detainee suicides have taken place at Harmondsworth and in 2006, the Inspectorate found that the Sodexo guards had only two noose-cutters in the 500 bed facility.
Two immigrant uprisings have occurred at Harmondsworth in the last three years, one in 2006 after the TV news reporting the conditions at Harmondsworth was turned off (aerial photo is pictured), and one on April 1st, 2008.
Currently, Sodexo is bidding on two new prison contracts in the U.K. that are a direct result of a higher demand for prisons, a higher crime rate.
Sodexo is opening a new prison December 2008 in Addiewell, Scotland.
The answer to crime is not for-profit prisons, it is affordable housing, free education, living wages, and full employment.
The answer to asylum demand is not extrication, it is amnesty for those escaping regimes, poverty, hunger, war, imperialism, torture, and death for something better.
Sodexo Alliance, a corporate citizen, is a foot soldier for the prison industrial complex and racist immigration policies.
We have been deceived and we must not be silent.
This group description is not a comprehensive or exhaustive list of Sodexo's injustices, so post your news, stories, and organizing methods related to the prison industrial complex.
Not With Our Money, a 1999 student-led direct action campaign on 60 college campuses, was successful in forcing Sodexo to divest from the Corrections Corporation of America.
Together, we can once again build a national movement resisting Sodexo and force them to end their prison profiteering and speak out against deportation and prison expansion.

Sodexo tipped to replace Trillium on £12bn MOD Defence Training PFI 02 Feb 2009
By Carol Millett
French firm firm Sodexo is tipped to replace Trillium on the MoD’s £12bn Defence Training Programme PFI deal.
Trillium quit as the equity partner in the consortium Metrix in December last year, citing concerns about rising procurement costs on the scheme.
Land Securities has since sold Trillium to rival Telereal. Following the sale Trillium has pulled out of bidding for anymore PFI deals. Metrix, which is led by QinetiQ and includes Laing O’Rourke, was chosen as preferred bidder on the scheme in December 2007.
The £12bn deal includes the construction of the £1bn Defence Technical Academy.
A Metrix spokesman declined to identify Trillium’s replacement but said an announcement would be made “soon”. Sodexo was unavailable for comment.
Sodexo provides fm and equity to a number of PFI schemes. It is also a recent entrant to the Building Schools for the Future programme but has yet to be shortlisted on a BSF scheme.

Sodexho wins major MoD contract
(10 January 2008 16:53)Sodexho has won its second major Ministry of Defence (MoD) contract in as many months in a deal worth £84m in total turnover. The company has signed a seven-year deal to provide catering, facilities management and domestic services to military personnel in Wales and the West Midlands.
Armed forces under the control of 143 (West Midlands) brigade, headquartered in Shrewsbury, and those training at facilities operated by 160 (Wales) Brigade, such as the Infantry Battle School at Brecon, are included.
Sodexho will look after 16 catering, retail and leisure sites along with 72 other locations. It will run them with a staff of 750 and update 50 catering, retail and bar units as part of the deal.
The caterer estimates it will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner to 5,500 service personnel a day and through its high-street like HUB! offer will introduce the MoD’s "Pay As You Dine" service.In December, Sodexho signed a £50m plus deal with the London military at locations including the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace!

SODEXHO What do unison have to say? Basically that they are rubbish.
Wiltshire County Council is scrapping its Sodexho meals-on-wheels service and replacing it with a new and different type of service. The council is terminating the contract ten months early and introducing a service based on bulk deliveries of frozen food which the clients would have to heat themselves. Thirty Sodexho staff face redundancy.
Employees of Sodexho, working on a meals-on-wheels contract with Cheshire County Council, are battling bosses who are trying to cut their working hours by one hour each day, or by 20%. Cheshire County Council said: "The company has assured us that the service it provides on our behalf, delivering 20,000 hot meals every month to 1000 older people across Cheshire, would be unaffected by any changes."
