Who’s the Communist?
David Westberg, business manager for the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 609, that's who Barbu says he's just trying to get by. Critics say he and a handful of vendors who sell pizza and other snacks near schools from vans and trucks are not only undermining school officials' efforts to get kids to eat better, but also threatening the jobs of cafeteria workers. This, it turns out, is both a competition for job security and a skirmish in the war against teenage obesity. Citing the growing girth of Seattle's schoolchildren, City Council members voted yesterday to bar all kinds of mobile vendors from within 1,000 feet of schools. The vendors have been allowed to sell within 200 feet. Their most vocal critic has been David Westberg, business manager for the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 609, which represents Seattle Public Schools' cafeteria workers. Westberg said only three or four people have been selling pizzas near Cleveland, Franklin and Garfield high schools. Still, he's concerned the vendors could jeopardize union workers' positions and benefits. "If 16 kids go off campus, somebody's mother loses health insurance," he said. (link: Balko)
