Heya long time no talk. This is absolutely revolting and wildly irresponsible of our neighbors, Ellwood Thompsons. We here at Fresh Market Workers stand in solidarity with Ellwood workers and demand that their workers be rehired and given time to get tested #boycottEllwoods

If you live in Richmond #BoycottEllwoodThompsons they decided to fire a group of employees who didn’t come because they can’t risk catching covid after there’s been an outbreak. They haven’t gotten ALL of their employees tested before returning to work. #RVA #boycottEllwoods

Good morning! While we wait to hear back from corporate about our demands, let's take a few minutes to explore what we meant here when we said that Fresh Market management has a history of safety issues and ignoring workers. Let's talk about "America's cleanest grocer". Thread:

As we work toward the next stage of our effort we'd like everyone to know that Fresh Market has a history of compromising safety of its workers and customers. For us the pandemic was the last straw, we knew that if this slid by then it would become another issue not remedied

Workers are everything. As someone who’s had to work during the pandemic, I know how awful it is to not be compensated for the dangerous work that has to be done. Stand with @freshmworkers and support their collective actions for liveable conditions!

Governor Northam must take steps to ensure workers are safe BEFORE reopening: ☑️ Rapid and reliable free testing ☑️ Mandatory paid quarantine and paid sick leave ☑️ Proper PPE ☑️ Require customers to wear masks ☑️ Protect workers from retaliation ufcw400.org/safetyfirst/
