Labor Day: Runamok raises entry level production wages to $20
Vermont specialty food producer, Runamok, recently raised its entry-level production hourly wage to $20 per hour. The Fairfax-based company includes “being a business with integrity” in its mission statement on the same footing as creating its “products with a careful eye for flavor, ingredients, and design.” ... “As a food producer, we are seeing the impact of today’s supply chain and labor shortage challenges putting pressure on prices. It’s crystal clear to me how impactful a wage increase is for our production workers and their families. But, more than anything else, it’s the right thing to do and it was time to resume our place, again, out front.”
