World Bank Food Service Workers Protest Poverty Wages Amid Lavish Surroundings

Workers who serve food at the World Bank headquarters struggle to afford basic necessities despite working for nearly a decade to feed dignitaries and attendees.
A quarter of the workers rely on food stamps and other public benefits to make ends meet while serving lavish meals in the World Bank's upscale cafeterias and banquet halls.
The workers are seeking pay increases and improved benefits to reach a "living wage" for Washington D.C. as they negotiate a new contract.
Leaders accuse the World Bank of hypocrisy for promoting anti-poverty missions globally while paying workers too little to escape poverty themselves.
