Please vote to strike on your upcoming contracts. We have lost repeated rights time and time again over the past few contracts. New hires get 2.5 less rights as those that were hired in before 2009. Ask your self these questions if striking is worth it: How long can you continue to live pay check to pay c...

I am so sick of coworkers working sick then saying maybe tomorrow I'll take off. No just go to the damn f'n dr and get a note excusing you for a week. When you go in sick and spread the damn virus more people get sick. Now that masks are off and people do not wear them while sick just stay the f home.

Does anyone else have to scan their slicers and ovens every day with the Zebra for safety inspection? I would think that would be against union rules since we're not trained as safety inspectors and it's not part of our job description. Next thing you know they're going to start telling us we have to d...

I am beginning to become very frustrated with this company hiring in utility clerks left and right while ignoring that many positions have been vacant since the roll out of the utility clerk position. The union needs to enforce/address how many floaters they can hire in per store. Many positions at m...

Let me give you some advice from 5 decades of life experience. Please do not skip maintenance appointments for health conditions. This lets them flair up and if you're not careful they will get worse and worse. To the point where you have to skip work or can not do it all together. If you need to go to the dr...

How do all of you union members feel about the portion of your union dues that is being donated to the Democratic party in general and in specific to the Kamala campaign? She is already the most stupid and incompetent Vice President in history. Imagine the damage to our country that she could do as Presi...

Dear kroger I'm sick of you exploiting your actively working employees into 8+ day work weeks totaling almost 100 hrs. Enough is enough. I'm fed up with your bs of this practice. I'm going back to 4 days a week. Kroger doesn't seem interested in hiring more staff and my sanity and health is more importa...

Our department barely has any staff and we are eligible to 2 days off minimum and I frequently get asked to come in and like hell I'm doing 6+ day work weeks. If you give me the minimum 24-48 hrs notice advance shift change and i have no plans I'll consider it. If it does not fall within that time frame I'm no...

Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, RUN!!! DO NOT hire on with this company. They will blow smoke up your ass, promise you things, and once you are there they will pull the rug out from under you. You will find yourself on your own without support from upper management. They play mind games with you kee...

Remember: Staffing isn't your issue it's the company's. Stop letting them exploit the actively working staff and fight back. I'm so fed up with this company I want back to 4 days a week every other week. They're still not hiring people to fill the void and refusing to do so. Floaters are frustrating be...

Oh, I'm sorry that kroger can't hire enough staff but would rather hire utility clerk as floaters to fill the void. Which isn't even helpful half the time. A department needs more than 2 staff to operate efficiently. Instead of complaining about it kroger hire some damn staff. Even when school ends I'...

1 Staffing isn't my problem. 2 Hire more damn staff. Oh, wait you won't because you exploit your help into 6 days and 50+ work weeks. All good. I changed my availablity back to 4 days and they're kicking them selves. Thus exhausting the staff you have into quitting, illness or scheduling extra time off j...

This game of the company turning a blind eye to lack of staff is getting old. Current staff is worked to exhaustion and it causes us to become ill or develop health issues that go on for a while. I feel bad when I call out because there is zero coverage but that is the cost the company has decided to make by not...

I have been seeing a lot of posts on reddit about work scheduling people 10+ day work weeks, denying vacation/pto requests. Please set an availablity if you do not wish to work 50+ hr work weeks. Your bank account won't like it but your health won't. This will wear you down the longer you do it and exhaust...

Not sure if this post will last or not but if you are going to wear a mask on the chin just take the damn thing off as it does zero good and you look silly wearing a mask bib on your chin.

Hi all I was just wondering if any of you guys have heard of the new attendance and tardy policy where they are lumping tardies and missed work into the same category???

Good lord I hate this new time punching system. If you call out sick they do not want you to do the right thing and come in on another day off to make up the skipped shift. Due to them being on a tight hour budget. Then you have to constantly remind them to input sick pay for you. Even if you ask over the phone the...

Don't know if my coworker will see this but fmla is very strict about how long your job is protected for. If you wished for an extension you should of done it a couple months before the expiration date expired. Not after it did. Now you're just screwed. Please consider worker retraining programs throug...
