On Thursday February 12th, Dining Hall workers participated in picket lines around Loyola's Lake Shore Campus — Why were these demonstrations happening and what did workers have to sacrifice in order to participate? How have students and the Loyola community gotten involved to help dining hall staff gain better contracts? Why is it important for students to pay attention to the ways Loyola interacts with their employees spending tuition money? How can students increase awareness and support for dining hall workers?

On this week’s episode of The Byline, a joint project between The Phoenix and WLUW 88.7, host and engagement editor Dana Prodoehl is joined by The Phoenix's editor-in-chief Lilli Malone to discuss these questions and more.
