Standing up for workers while also hurting a company that has ruined a ton of local restaurants? Seems like a win/win.

I came here to ask this. I couldn't figure out how a food delivery company could ruin local restaurants.

Crushing the competition out, then changing products to be inferior and more expensive.

Because their shit is bottom of the barrel IQF garbage. If we ever had a Fallout situation Sysco foods, Twinkies, and cockroaches would be the only things left to eat.

Restaurants order their raw products from companies like Sysco, called broadliners. In New England, the big broadliners are Sysco, PFG, US Foods, and some other ones that are smaller in size.

If Sysco’a delivery drivers aren’t driving, then restaurants aren’t getting raw product to make their dishes, which means they don’t have dishes to sell to the public. Also, many restaurants are contracted with their broadliners, so it’s not like a Sysco customer can just pick up the phone and call PFG and place their order.
