"At the Imperfect Foods facility in Clackamas, I found that delivery drivers recently voted to unionize and join United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 555; they hope to negotiate for higher wages, guaranteed raises, improved safety standards, and more fairly distributed delivery routes, with the union planning member surveys to solidify bargaining goals. National Labor Relations Board documents state the union will not include warehouse workers and other employees at the Clackamas location. As Imperfect Foods driver Moira McCarthy said in a press release, "The value that delivery drivers have brought to this company, turning it from a niche startup to a household name, can't be overstated." The company, cofounded in 2015 by Ben Simon, Ron Clark, and Benjamin Chesler to salvage grocery items removed from shelves for non-safety-related reasons, started with produce and expanded to include cheese, snacks, and pantry staples; after venture capital funding it now delivers groceries in more than 35 states, and a group of the company’s California drivers unionized in 2021. Imperfect Foods has yet to comment on the recent union vote." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
