Amy’s Kitchen Inc., a maker of frozen vegetarian meals and soups, has been accused of unfair labor practices at its plant in San Jose, according to complaints filed Wednesday with the National Labor Relations Board.
Unite Here, a union representing approximately 300,000 workers in Canada and the US, says the company engaged in activities such as required attendance for anti-union meetings, disciplining employees for participation in labor activities and the termination of two employees for supporting a union. The group is also seeking a temporary injunction to halt the alleged practices.
“We are calling on Amy’s management to stop retaliating against workers, to stop disciplining them, to agree to a neutral process without threats and intimidations,” said Raquel Alvarez, president of the local chapter of Unite Here. “Workers should be able to fight for better conditions without fear.”The complaint comes less than two weeks after the termination of a machine operator by Amy’s Kitchen. Hector Guardado had worked at the San Jose plant for nearly a year, he told Bloomberg.
