Nation's Restaurant News, Nov 20, 2006
Gainsville, Fla. -- The University of Florida here reportedly has persuaded its foodservice contractor, Philadelphia-based Aramark Corp., as well as other vendors at the school to pay their full-time workers $8.84 an hour, a wage proportionate with the college's own minimum pay.
The university instituted its own minimum wage in 2001. It now exceeds the federal minimum wage of $5.15 an hour by $3.69.
Beginning in January, Florida's minimum wage will become $6.67 an hour.
