Instacart, the grocery delivery app, says it plans to lay off 1,900 workers as part of cuts across the company. In those 1,900 cuts are the only unionized employees the company has.
The lay off comes as grocery chains begin to train and hire their own employees to do the job that Instacart employees do. According to the New York Post, 10 of the employees being laid off are the only staff members who joined a union.
Instacart claims that the lay offs have nothing to do with the unionization of the staff.
