Staff at $2bn start-up allege bombs, assaults & harassment

Employees at a multi-billion-dollar start-up have accused management of violent and overly stressful working conditions.

The recipe and meal-kit-delivery service Blue Apron specialises in “reinventing dinner”, by packaging healthy meal boxes and having them delivered to customer’s homes.

Despite their success, the company is now under fire from disgruntled employees based at the firm’s main warehouse fulfilment centre in Richmond, USA.

A report by BuzzFeed found that Blue Apron ran a “less-than-stringent hiring process”, relying heavily on part-time staff which in turn led to allegedly difficult working conditions.
