HealthAlliance s hospitals in Leominster and Clinton are outsourcing their cafeteria work but will keep all workers employed.
HealthAlliance, which is part of Worcester s UMass Memorial Health Care, will outsource its cafeteria services to Sodexo, the French food services giant that already manages the hospital s food services. The switch is expected to take place in February.
The hospital was required by the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, Act to notify state workforce officials of the move because a substantial number of employees 51 at the Leominster campus and seven in Clinton will no longer be UMass Memorial Health Care employees, UMass Memorial spokesman Tony Berry said.
