The FreshDirect workers include butchers, fish cutters, deli slicers and online order pickers across three NYC locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The digital grocery service delivers food to select markets in seven states, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
