(The Center Square) – Amy’s Kitchen employees in California and Oregon are now getting free legal help in their fight against Teamsters Local 665, which is seeking to gain union control of their workplace.
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation (NRWLDF) has taken on their case after being contacted by multiple employees.
Local news reports have shown clashes between factory workers at the southwest Santa Rosa, California, food processing site. Some have filed complaints about working conditions and the union and some workers have called for a boycott of the company’s products. The union also filed a complaint with OSHA alleging “serious violations of health and safety regulations” in January, claiming “workers continue to get injured.”
Amy’s Kitchen is the sixth largest U.S. maker of frozen meals in the U.S. and the largest producer of organic vegetarian packaged foods, the North Bay Business Journal reports.
“Amy’s Kitchen is non-union, however, there is an active organizing campaign with Teamsters Local 665, in response to egregious working conditions, high rates of injuries, and ongoing exploitation,” Tony Delorio, principal officer of the Teamsters Local Union No. 665, wrote in the complaint. “Despite organizing efforts, we want to reiterate that hazards workers face require immediate attention from Cal/OSHA and continue to lead to injuries and possible fatalities every day.”
