OBERLIN, Ohio — Months after announcing the school was considering layoffs of more than 100 of its union workers by formally considering contracting with outside vendors for dining and custodial services, Oberlin College announced it will be eliminating all of its dining service positions on July 15.
The school previously said that roughly 52 full-time dining employees and 56 full-time custodial employees would be impacted by a change in the contract, depending on the number of positions the school is able to fill over the summer when it said the transition from UAW employees to outside vendor employees would occur.
