The workers and their union supporters plan to rally at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on Wednesday afternoon.

The more than 100 cafeteria workers who were recently laid off at Meta Platforms Inc. are asking the giant tech company to treat them like it did its laid-off engineers and other employees.

The workers and their union supporters plan to rally at the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on Wednesday afternoon to urge Facebook parent Meta META to give laid-off subcontracted service workers the same severance and benefits as the office workers it directly employed and laid off. According to filings with the state of California, Flagship laid off 126 food-service workers from a dozen different addresses for Meta in Menlo Park, effective March 6. The workers were notified that their jobs would be cut in early January. Other service workers at Meta have been laid off in the past year, including janitors.

Mora noted that there were “thousands and thousands” of Meta employees who were offered the more generous severance packages, and that the hundred or so cafeteria workers who are now looking for jobs in an uncertain economy should receive the same.
