The latest Organic Trade Association survey shows that even as sales growth slows, consumers increasingly value organic products’ health and environmental benefits.
Happy Friday.Here are the results of this week's SN poll.
Instacart has just settled a case for $46.5 million after the delivery giant was accused of paying California workers as if they were independent contractors between 2015 and 2020.
We asked: Should Instacart's workers be considered full-time employees or contractors? And you answered: These are flexible contractors (75%) Clearly full-time workers (23%) Other (2%)
You also said: John Marshall, CFA, Capital Strategies Director The reality is 1) the majority of food retail workers are both "part-time" AND W-2 employees, and 2) the majority of the "hours" worked on management platforms like Instacart and DoorDash are performed by workers who are "required" to work significant hours, accept a large majority of assignments and comply with a host of other top-down mandates a true independent contractor would never have to put up with in order to be permitted to access the scheduling "flexibility" these companies brag about. These platform workers work hours that are comparable to the W-2 workers in the same industry, and are often doing the same jobs. And that's what the court case demonstrated. -- Have another thought?
