Instacart is firing every employee who voted to unionize and I encourage every single one of my 360,000 followers to never use @Instacart again. This kind of corporate greed and corruption is evil. https://t.co/jKlzN11yhW

It's time to fire Instacart.

It's time to form a union.
It's time to join a union.
It's time for a #GeneralStrike.
It's time for the people and planet loving 99% to bring the people and planet killing 1% to their knees.#BoycottInstacart @iwwhttps://t.co/6NhzKU4mfM

During the pandemic, Instacart has more than doubled its freelance "shoppers," but it's slimming down its number of in-store employees. https://t.co/JQxRoJUAMD

For those who argued “let people choose to be Independent Contractors or Employees” — this is what happens with “choice.” The corporation only chooses to hire people who will work as ICs. This is the race to the bottom we are trying to stop. https://t.co/snx0E6S4je

Reckless. @Instacart is firing 2000 employees, including every employee who voted to unionize. Instacart is valued at $18 Billion

Labor rights are human rights. If an $18B Corp can’t do business w/o giving workers basic rights it shouldn’t be in businesshttps://t.co/CwVDORwDsN
This seems like one of those things that will be centered in an article as a pre-indicator about the sudden, even-more-terrible recession that always seems to arrive when reasonable people take over the American government. https://t.co/xJivGCMgnW

Laying off 2,000 employees in the middle of a pandemic when their business is skyrocketing? Guessing this is to replace them with contractors / no benefits? https://t.co/4PKrzcPSkz

This is so wrong. The opportunity to join a union — no matter where you work — is the best way to raise wages, improve working conditions, and create family-sustaining jobs. Families are working hard to survive – we must support them. I stand with @UFCW.https://t.co/FNpBJvWqvE

This is outrageous.@Instacart is firing every worker that voted to unionize with @UFCW for better pay & conditions.
— Rep. Mark Pocan (@repmarkpocan) January 21, 2021
So while @Instacart profits off this pandemic, it lays off essential workers?
Union-busting is disgusting.https://t.co/0NmFFu0FQt
Instacart just laid off 2,000 workers during the pandemic -- includingly, tellingly, employees who voted to unionize in 2020. The jobs are being replaced by "gig workers" who are ineligible to unionize. https://t.co/3RgaKzStaj

Latest: Instacart's cuts are being condemned by lawmakers like @Ash_Kalra, @MarkPocan, and @RepChuyGarcia, who tweeted he's “eager to take on bad actors like Instacart and Uber” in Congress and via a “reinvigorated” Biden National Labor Relations Board https://t.co/0IDrhvL9UW https://t.co/cOvbDzfVWT

Instacart workers are on the front lines of the pandemic. It’s clear they need a union and Instacart’s actions are outrageous and illegal.

2,000 layoffs, 10 of whom had recently voted to unionize. the framing on this story is absolutely insidious. https://t.co/8x6uaNbvq6
— Mike Solana (@micsolana) January 22, 2021
Instacart is firing every employee who voted to unionize last year, as part of a large round of layoffs. The move could have a chilling effect on other Instacart organizing efforts: https://t.co/K2KREIatzd
— Zoë Schiffer (@ZoeSchiffer) January 21, 2021
Not a lie, it was in-store shoppers who are employees that were laid off, not 1099 full-service shoppers like yourself.
— David Layhausen (@dlayphoto) January 21, 2021
It’s also conveniently buried in the company’s own blog. https://t.co/24uCvRKYCN
I’m deleting @Instacart and sadly @RalphsGrocery is also using instacart so that gets deleted as well https://t.co/PvHd5i72nN

This is how @Instacart treats its front line heroes, who risk their lives delivering groceries every day? Firing them? Despicable.
— Liz Shuler (@lizshuler) January 22, 2021
I stand with @UFCW union to demand that Instacart stop these senseless firings now! https://t.co/xybKlD1O65

This has over 3k retweets yet is incredibly misleading. And similar headlines elsewhere. One of those things that puts ammo in big tech’s “media is biased against us” argument. https://t.co/qEgsnA1ePf

Instacart is firing 2,000 of its shoppers, including 10 who had formed a union, and offering as little as $250 in severance. “These layoffs are totally discouraging for any gig workers who are trying to do something to make these jobs better."https://t.co/pg8kjTfMNU
— The Appeal (@theappeal) January 22, 2021
New: 6 years after declaring a subset of workers employees rather than contractors, Instacart is eliminating around 1,900 of those jobs, including the only 10 unionized ones https://t.co/0IDrhvL9UW

“Instacart firing the only unionized workers at the company and destroying the jobs of nearly 2,000 dedicated front-line workers in the middle of this public health crisis is simply wrong,” says @UFCW president @Marc_Perrone https://t.co/0IDrhvL9UW https://t.co/cOvbDzfVWT
— Josh Eidelson (@josheidelson) January 21, 2021
“We know this is an incredibly challenging time for many as we move through the Covid-19 crisis, and we’re doing everything we can to support in-store shoppers through this transition,” - Instacart
— Gig Workers Collective (@GigWC) January 21, 2021
...so they’re firing 1,900 of them.https://t.co/SdcXDzueFT
By @josheidelson
Looks like in about 5 minutes I'll be on @BloombergTV with the great @EmilyChang discussing Instacart's slashing of around 1,900 employee positions at the same time its ranks of ostensible contractors have been swelling https://t.co/0IDrhvL9UW https://t.co/cOvbDzfVWT

I'm sure it's not a coincidence that among the workers laid off were every one who voted to #unionize. We need to restore the protections organized labour had before the 1980s. Membership is at its lowest since the 1920s, and that hurts everyone's pay.https://t.co/XyQnGPUP6u
