The ‘Invisible’ HelloFresh Workers Trying to Unionize in Richmond


Listen Later

During the pandemic, the meal kit delivery company HelloFresh has made record profits. But some employees at HelloFresh factory kitchens like the one in Richmond say they’re not sharing in those gains, and that they feel invisible and underappreciated.

Instead, they say they’re being asked to work harder and faster as more white-collar employees working remotely use the service. Now, they want to form what would be the first union in the meal kit industry.

Guest: Sam Harnett, KQED tech reporter
