Excerpt:

The layoffs impact 10 unionized workers at a grocery store called Mariano’s, in addition to other Instacart employees. The group in Skokie, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, voted to unionize last year with the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1546 (UFCW). It was a landmark victory for gig workers and represented “the first time employees of tech companies that rely predominantly on contract labor have formed a union to collectively bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions,” according to my colleague Nick Statt.

4. Boycott instacart!

Retailers and consumers. I'll be calling Jewel to tell them I'd prefer they stand with Union workers and end any contract they have with instacart, until they acknowledge their union employee's rights.

I shop Jewel a union shop and I have the curbside pickup, love them!
