HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, forced labor
HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, and forced labor. The lawsuit claims HelloFresh managers and supervisors threatening violence, using racial slurs, denying bathroom access, and threatening to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement against Latine and immigrant workers. According to the lawsuit, HelloFresh laid off about 400 temporary employees on short notice just one day before the state’s Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights was set to go into effect, which guarantees temporary workers stronger labor protections. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory, punitive, and statutory damages, severance pay, legal fee reimbursement, and pre- and post-judgement interest.

The results, which the state released earlier this month, offer a mixed picture of academic performance in Newark, where schools have spent years working to help students recover from pandemic learning disruptions . The scores could lead to closer scrutiny of tutoring and literacy initiatives that have tried to assist in that recovery.
