do part-time employees get time and a half pay for working holidays and do they have to be past the 30 days?

Check your contract.

I've been a full time employee for over 26 years and I've never gotten time and a half for working on a holiday.  Holiday weeks I get 8 hours  holiday pay + time and a half for any work over 32 hours.

We get 50 cent premium for working on the holiday, plus our holiday pay.  I think you have to have worked at Kroger for 2 or 3 years before you get the premium pay.

Every contract is different, if you say which is yours there may be someone here who is under the same one and can answer definitively. I do know for ours they removed time and a half with the contract signed in 2012 for anyone hired after that date. It's now 0.50 for part time and 1$ for full time.

in local 400, there is no holiday pay or premium unless you've been here since like 1970.

As said its different for everyone, for us holidays are double time, not time and a half, and that part is effective the moment you are hired. On top of that is the regular holiday pay, effective 30 days after hire date. E.g. I worked for 6.75 hrs this last Thanksgiving so I got paid 13.5 hrs + 8hrs holiday for just that part of the day. But I also don't work in a store.

Teamster contract for a warehouse?

No, I work for the manufacturing divison. We also aren't unionized. But our plant (or all of Kroger Manufacturing?) makes a point of offering at least average compensation for food processors in the area, to reduce skilled worker turnover.

What helped me get through today was basically knowing that I was going to get an extra full eight hours pay on top of my regular eight hour pay, lol.

As for what you'll get for today, OP, I agree with others here, you're going to have to check your union contract (as it varies from division to division) or ask someone that you trust at your store to give you an accurate answer - be it your union steward, a member of management or a trusted co-worker. Even then, you may not get a "for sure" answer and you might just have to wait until next week's paycheck to see what shows up on it.

There is a lot of confusion when it comes to holiday pay, employee rights/division procedures and so on among employees. Kroger, as a company, seems to try to deliberately keep its employees in the dark and sadly, the union isn't very good in that regard either, although I'm sure there are some exceptions here and there.
