Not even California. It's absurd. I'm just glad this is a union job. Imagine if it wasn't.

Our store leaders have high turn over/change over and not one of them could write a decent schedule. I am so grateful our lead says what schedule would you like and we can work that. If not I'd be filing a union grievance because they hired in a new person and my hours tanked from full time to <20 hrs a wee...

Every now and then we need to leave work early for various reasons but usually for not feeling well. Many side departments are quiet after 5/6 pm and we often close them early any ways. So we sit bored either in the back room (blind spots of security cameras) or hide in the break room. And kroger wonders wh...

Kroger could care less about people and their financial well being. Kroger is no longer a career opportunity like it use to be before the early 2000's. it's now a dead end pay check to paycheck job. With zero promotional opportunities. You're also easily replaced by a minimum wage no body off the stree...

UFCW has come out against it although I saw one post from a Union group that is still in favor of it. The FTC did the right thing in suing. Kroger should have known there would be trouble on this. I am surprised that Kroger hasn't tried to go after Publix even though it is a privately held company.

A Kroger employee who is above store management level decided that every cashier at the location I work at as a cashier must scan the produce. That is fine with us except when you cannot because the plu code on the sticker will not scan and so on. Then we have to key in the plu code. But this particular emplo...

Be sure to uplift your associates in your department this holiday season. (That's what we were told during a conference call today.)

Hello, I started working at Kroger in 2023 and moved to a different department upon turning a certain age. I am a part time student who also very much so could be considered independent so I need at least a minimum of 10-15 hours of work to pay my weekly/monthly expenses. During a time frame the assistant...

If you give some people an ounce of courtesy they'll walk all over it and take it to an advantage. I'm not risking my job on markdowns becaus...

Don't you love unions? Yes I have my pro's and con's about them. I've needed them a few times for representation. But there's always workers out there that abuse the rights of a union.

I'm just glad Kroger is a union company.

They are the people *over* the Store Managers. If you get into a grievance that results in a meeting with your Union rep and Store Manager, Regional HR can be VERY helpful in your case. That has been my experience in the Local 1996 Atlanta GA area. If they come in for a visit, introduce yourself, as you nev...
