:iww:
Also People's Food Co-Op sounds incredibly based
Without revealing too much, I worked factory floor at Amy's for a while 2 years ago... no air conditioning & stuffy atmosphere; 2-3 bathroom breaks, at most. ngl cutting blocks of cheese and chucking them at the shredder was kinda fun, and you could take some of the baked pizza bread and cheese back home if you wanted. but they made you work overtime sometimes... and then it wouldn't appear on your paycheck. so, after a couple of months I bailed.
I'm glad they're pushing back, the contract legit opens up with a "we don't need to talk about unions, we're a family here" aka the oldest red flag.
Yeah I worked in a warehouse once fuck mandatory overtime how is that shit legal?
It sucked. They have percentages and stats on huge screens, and everyone would glance up in despair if the percentage started going 101%, 102%, etc.
Like the topping and sauce line workers, I imagine they were the ones that got denied bathroom and water breaks. And they stood around for hours slowly fucking up their posture and developing carpal tunnel.
their drive-thru fast food joint in rohnert park, ca is really good. i didn't know union busting is where the flavor comes from :camus-gaze:
is it ok if i keep stealing it? every now and then i steal some of the frozen indian platters from where i work
This is the easiest boycott ever. :im-vegan: and I haven't bought Amy's in like 10 years, they make weak-ass expensive product.
Depending on how much time you have to cook, some good homemade stuff can be thrown together pretty quick 2-3 cans of black/pinto/kidney beans or 1/2 lb of dry beans, cooked
2 carrots
1 onion
1-2 stalks of celery (optional)
1-2 cloves of garlic (or more), minced (or garlic powder)
2 peppers, type depending on heat tolerance, I like Anaheim or jalapeno; can also use bell peppers
Smoked paprika
Oregano
Cumin
Chipotle powder or chipotles in adobo (optional)
Crushed tomatoes or a couple T of tomato paste (optional)
Hominy/pozole (can be purchased dry and cooked with beans or canned) (optional)
Sweet potato (optional, can be cooked with beans or cooked separately in microwave and chunked)If you're feeling fancy, you can split, seed, and then blister the peppers by cooking them on a very hot pan with a little oil under cover to minimize the smoke (or brulee the onions by cooking them the same way in halves, cut side down). Otherwise you can just dice them up with the onions or blitz everything in the food processor. Saute peppers, carrots, onions, and celery with a little salt until the onions are translucent; add garlic and saute for a couple minutes more; add your spices (I like ~1 T paprika, 1/2 t chipotle powder, ~1 t cumin, ~2 t oregano, but you can adjust chipotle and/or paprika up to 2 T total depending on how much heat/smokiness you want) and stir til fragrant, then add your beans, mix-ins, and enough bouillon to cover (I like Better than Bouillon); if you're aiming for vegan and want to add some extra vitamins, add in some nutritional yeast as well. Bring to a simmer then serve. You can freeze leftovers in jars and thaw them in the fridge or microwave them.
Just to add, if you make chili at home it freezes really well. Make a big batch and put it into various containers to freeze, then microwave for an easy snack!
Same. I used to eat them years ago but i haven't had any in years just because they're are so many better options.
They've been completely lapped many times over by other brands imo
The funny thing is the workers at the co-op where that pic is from have to strike every other week for similar reasons.
damn, they had the best 4 tablespoons of vegan mac you could get for 6 bucks.
fuck my life, my SO just found a bunch of these soups, the ones that are low calorie, to help me lose weight :agony-deep:
done buyin it though
all capitalists :eco-porky:
Got a link with more details? My co-op recently unionized and they carry this product.
I don't a friend sent me the image
Edit: found this https://www.vegetariantimes.com/news/amys-kitchen-boycott-safety/
I was afraid this was going to be a pointless lib-brained "no more Russian soup" protest, but I was pleasantly surprised. Full support! :solidarity:
