Health care coverage for cafeteria workers poses budget problem in Los Angeles district

From The Los Angeles Times: The cafeteria fund for the Los Angeles Unified School District has run a multimillion-dollar deficit since 2007, when board members agreed to provide health benefits for part-time cafeteria workers. The benefits have helped low-paid workers who need healthcare assistance, and the expense isn't the only one pushing food operations into the red. But the fund's cash shortfall has exacerbated a systemwide budget crunch.
