Changes on the Horizon:
Resolution begins in
Marriott controversy

Marriott just wouldn't leave.
When Guilford administrators
acted to end the college's contract
with the food service two weeks
ago, Marriott executives begged
for a chance to rectify all commu
nity complaints.
Complaints included misrepre
senting student hours on W-2
forms, not notifying employees of
a change in pay period, failing to
pay full-time workers holiday pay
for many years, mistreating em
ployees, and finally, outright rac
ism.
Last week, officials from
Marriott headquarters and the
corporation's educational division
came on campus to talk to employ
ees and set a plan for improvement.
"We've made some mistakes,
and all parties are trying to make
things better," explains George
Koeng, vice president for human
resources in the education division.
Full-time employees will be
paid 8 years in back holiday pay,
the pay cycle has been changed

"So far as I
know they've
only done
one thing and
they haven't
done much
publicity."
I think we made a good first step."
New players are involved, he
notes, who are focusing on specific
issues of diversity and quality pro
grams.
One key player who will not be
involved in the reforms is Beth
Estep, director of Food Services.
In a few weeks she will be leaving
Guilford to take a position with
Marriott at another college.
Koeng explains, "Beth, from
the beginning, said that she would
step aside for the sake of the
Guilford community and
Marriott."
A new director has yet to be
decided upon.
Doug Gilmer, production man
ager, and Joseph Pin nix, lead cook,
are working on revising the
cafeteria's menu.
"Marriott has a product that it
brings and we believe we can do a
good job," Koeng says. "We have
to do better than we're doing. We
have to make sure we have a
relavent menu, including vegan
and vegetarian options. We can
satisfy those needs."
