TEAMSTERS CHALLENGE AMY'S KITCHEN B CORP CERTIFICATION IN LIGHT OF WORKER ABUSES

Key Facts

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a complaint filed late last week challenging the B Corp certification of Amy's Kitchen on behalf of long-time employee Cecilia Luna Ojeda, Teamsters Local 665 Principal Officer Tony Delorio stated: "Amy's Kitchen has demonstrated a callous disregard for workers' health, safety, and human rights in violation of the B Corp Declaration of Interdependence."
Most recently, at a Feb. 26 rally in Petaluma, Calif., Veggie Mijas and Food Empowerment Project joined Amy's Kitchen workers and their Teamsters advocates as they amplified the call for the boycott of Amy's products.
The workers in Santa Rosa have repeatedly and publicly demanded a meeting with Amy's Kitchen CEO Andy Berliner, along with their Teamster advocates, to find a permanent solution to the workplace injuries, high health care costs and conditions at the facility.
They've stated they want the company to succeed, but not at the expense of workers, and that they're eager for a safer work environment.
