Workers Say Opioid Crisis Driving Push to Unionize Ben & Jerry’s Shop

VIDEO – CAN DRUGS CAUSE SOCIALISM? –

April 17, 2023 – “I think it would be nice to have better training for how to deal with situations that come up from the opioid epidemic and just the unhoused community around here. I think sometimes we are just thrown into stressful situations and expected to think on our feet and that can be a little scary,” said Josie Clark, a shift manager at Ben and Jerry’s. 

 “It was definitely a group decision, and I think everyone is excited to work together along with the managers to make sure we have a seat at the table when decisions are being made,” said Jess Schenk, a shift manager at Ben and Jerry’s.

If the National Labor Relations Board signs off on the organizing petition, then there could be a vote among the workers.

A spokesperson from Ben and Jerry’s headquarters in Waterbury told WCAX News they are aware of the union push and they are actively working on it.
