I have a warning for everyone about the new requirements for the Health Plan for 2013. We were required to submit our own health screening this year. You will automatically be enrolled in Plan 3 if it was not submitted. There is an appeals process that you can go through to get to Plan 1 if you have comp...

I want to go union working at 412 city market. We have no union big mistake, we do everything for the same amount of money and do not recive nothing in return because we are not union workers nor do we have the same rights as employee's. We all work every department and have to do our work in the same amount o...

Baggers have to deal with the most stress on sundays than anyone else because we do a lot of things in the store. We are often under-manned yet we still have to do as much stuff as a full crew would do. Don't treat us like crap because we are the people who empty your trash and bring you guys new paper towel fo...

Just so everyone knows, the distribution center in delaware ohio passed a strike vote by 98% friday, there are technicalitys now but that shows the disgruntledness there. They now have Dave Dillion and The U.I.W. From washington D.C. sitting at the table with them because the medical they are tryin...

This might be a tough question to answer, but I have a question about full time, and if the union can do anything about the situation I'm in. I've worked for Kroger 2 years. The first year I was a bagger/cashier, I am now in the grocery department (night stock). I don't know if the contracts vary from st...

Since I came back one girl who started a couple of months before I went to the dairy, tries to tell me how to do my job likes shes a bos...

It's an absolute shame how this whole mess went down. Governor Snyder has stabbed the working people of the State of Michigan in the back. Anybody planning on joining the rally at the Capitol Building on Tuesday from 8-3? If so I'll see you there! And if you hear people in your stores talking about quitt...

Operative Faith reveals that Kroger will soon join the ranks of Darden Restaurants and slash the hours of its non-exempt (hourly) workers to avoid millions in Obamacare penalties. To give you a sense of Krogers size and importance, its sales last year were $90 billion and it employs nearly 350,000 p...

How long does an employee have to work before they can file a complaint for wrongful termination?

I was told that I had to contact HR to request a transfer from Indiana to Denver, but I can't find the number anywhere. Google has failed me. Who do I contact, and what do I say to them? (I've worked at Kroger for 6 months, gotten one raise.)

We bake a lot of bread. Usually I either bake or bag. For some reason, I seem to be the only one who will put bread out when it needs to go out. Everybody else just throws it on the channel cart and maybe it will get worked when it's all bagged. One woman even gets upset if the deli manager tells her to fill...

Ok, the majority of the cashiers at my store are good people to work with. But there are some that think that they're the sh** and they'll want you bagging the way that THEY want you to bag. I'm a bagger and I never teach you guys on how to be a cashier. Don't give me this "I've been working here 35 years...

I guess I really need to know what takes place at the meeting with HR and my union rep regarding my termination. Is this meeting to tell me why I have been terminated? The union rep says this is the meeting is where the union decides whether my case is worth going to arbitration. What? Okay so what exactl...

I don't know if this is just my store or not, but our front end always seems to be shortstaffed every day, and they're constantly calling for help from other departments. (i am a dairy mgr.) It aggravates me and it should not be happening. They have their own people assigned to that department, so they sh...

Ok so I want to work at Kroger while keeping my day job at another supermarket retailer but have been told that you cannot work at a competitor company. How would that be enforced ? Once I am off the clock, what is it their business to dictate to me where I can work and where I cannot ?
