The short explanation of this alert was:
Just days before Christmas, the food-delivery service FreshDirect has threatened the jobs of hundreds of workers in its Queens, New York warehouse. So far, at least 46 employees have lost their jobs or been suspended, and FreshDirect could terminate dozens more in the next few days.
This job loss — and the resultant tension and fear among remaining workers — is in advance of the workers' vote to build their union on December 22 and 23.
The workers are forming a union to negotiate for very reasonable things: a livable wage, improved working conditions and a benefits package that allows them and their families to survive in one of the world’s most expensive cities.
The lost jobs are a result of an inspection someone triggered with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which is becoming the Pinkerton of the twenty-first century.
FreshDirect had no problem with its employees' paperwork before they expressed a desire to form a union. Santa Claus has a list and checks it twice this time of year — FreshDirect shouldn't need to.
FreshDirect workers need your help. Tell FreshDirect that you stand with the workers and their right to form a union.
