We are in the process of opening a new store and a union rep said if they can't get 51% participation in the union that the store will open as non union. Is that is even possible and would that be such a bad thing?
So we took the associate survey a little while ago. Kroger decided to replace the two best managers with total nazis. One of them wrote up an employee for taking a 16 minute break. What the hell man
I live in Alaska and have the kroger-dedicated Anthem BCBS, but have been fighting for SEVEN MONTHS to get a breast pump. They require that it come from a DME. The one they gave me locally (the ONLY one) "doesn't do breast pumps." So I found a publication from BCBS here: http://www.mympcben...
My store manger is awful and many employees have problems with her... like real problems, not just not liking her because she makes them do their job, but like demoting employees, choosing obvious favorites, and just not catering or trying to cater to her employees. What can I do about that?
being with kroger closing on to three years now, I have definately formed my views on the UFWC. Some are good while others are not so good. Prior to Kroger, I worked for Wild Oats. During my time there, several employees tried to rally support for unionizing our store. At that time is was strongly ag...
I'm new. I was asked to work tomorrow 12am-9am and I wasn't really told much... I need to know what I should wear my first day , jeans Or black pants, tshirt ? What color since I wasnt given a Kroger shirt yet? Oh and usually are the doors still unlocked for 3rd shift or do I have to buzz in some where? Fir...
It was mentioned that I would be working in the Dairy department during the daytime. I figure the Dairy lead will be the AM person most of the time and I would be the afternoon Dairy clerk which is ok with me. Does that really mean I will be working in the Dairy department actually stocking or Does that mea...
Boycot the best you can the Elko Smiths the store director is the worst yet and I am a customer. He smokes every second or on cell or he is yelling at the workers. No wonder they can't smile or say hi they are to scared to move. I hear he threatened many of them with sick family parents even that maybe when they...
Let's put it this way. I had a run in with my manager today and his only recourse when i asked him for proof of his accusations toward me was "Insubordination!" I doubt I'll be among you for very much longer. My union rep was of the opinion that I should keep my head down and be an ignorant grunt. L...
How much do file maintenance clerks make? according to indeed.com they make about $37k/year on average but that is not specifically for kroger employees. So I'm guessing that number would be unreliable.
Our produce manager has been off for a week on vacation, the whole dang week when I go in at 4am to cut fruit I have to clean up the work station, hunt down the carts which have been buried in boxes in the back of our cooler, move boxes away from the wall so the grocery guys won't be jerks with our pallets (those...
Last night I was the midnight cashier and was closing with my manager, my last order was in the payment of a check. I took my till up to the office to put it away so I know for a fact the check was in my till. This morning I walk into work and my manager is flat out screaming at me in the office that I stole my last t...
Last night I went to work. I worked hard. We finished a grocery truck. I wrote the order for tonight's truck. I clocked out and went home. No problems, just thought I would post something that wasn't a complaint for a change.
I'm about to turn 50 years old next week, and I work midnights on the grocery crew. I've been doing it going on 15 years, and I feel like it is finally catching up with me. It is getting to me mentally and physically. It would be nice to going back to days, and getting to sleep at night, but working days at Kr...
So, my store is switching to black aprons starting tomorrow. I was only given a blue one and was only notified about the change on Thursday by the form of a note by the time clock. I asked about getting one then, but nobody was able to help me. Am I responsible for getting a black apron on my own or are they res...
I'm currently a general clerk, but my manager asked to work overnight this week as a Grocery stocker. do overnight people get paid more than general clerks?
So as a courtesy clerk, today I was unlucky enough to be bagging for my manager. This is the same manager whom I have written about both underneath this account and anonymous who wrote me up for insubordination about two months ago when it was accused that I had raised my voice to a supervisor. I had been o...
I swear people need to do their jobs and get along! When someone screws up or can't get along with someone they put them back up front as a cashier. Another one got kicked out of deli dept today. One from the bakery two weeks ago. We have enough cashiers up front as it is and they all get around 15 to 18 ho...
