Why the hell did my dues increase from 6.50 to 8.00?! I already don't make much 20-30 dollars comes out of my check for taxes + now 8 bucks are coming out for union dues?!
I am going to be on educational leave starting Sunday. I will not be in town on Thursday when we get our paychecks. Will it be mailed to me? Or will I have to come back and get it?
Here's a "marvelous" (NOT!) idea; Lets put new hires to work without finishing their training. They received web training and VERY minimal, closer to none actually on hands on training. So all their web training consisted of was checkstand etiquette, customer service, and how to bag it...
Our store schedule is from sunday to sunday. Are all stores like this? Could I somehow try to get them to do this from monday to monday? It is a bummer trying to figure out if you can go away saturday and sunday when you don't get next weeks schedule till friday. Like, I see I have saturday off and would l...
I cannot find any information written down about this, but I've heard from coworkers that Kroger offers tuition reimbursement. Would anyone happen to know where I can find any written docs about this?
Lately I've noticed that there are swarms of bees that surround our bottle bins in the receiving area. I myself am not allergic to bee stings (to the best of my knowledge), but I did get stung when I was a little kid and I do not want to get stung again. A few of us have mentioned the issue to management but so f...
Ok, I need help on how to do a backstock review, specifically for Dairy. I've gotten different ways on how to do it from the dairy lead and the one I normally end up working with. The first (and so far, only) time I've done it, it turned out that I've rang 250+ items. That, honestly, is bad, since I compared...
I hear today at work that the store gave away free items out of the private select store brand for associates to try ((sample)) at home in the hopes that we will up sell the brand to the customers. My question here is how would I go about getting in on this?
This is something that I've been hearing about now for approximately a year and half. Every now and then, I would hear how we're supposed to get new touchscreens at every register, but the bugs needed to be worked out first. Well, I guess the bugs have been worked out because it's happening now. For thos...
Is this legal? Whenever anyone asks to see the new union contract, we're told to contact our union representative. The union refuses to let us see the contract.
I must say, I like working with the people there, even management. They get the job done one way or another. They also don't raise a big fuss over anything. I'm assuming that what gets many of the kroger employees are the ridiculous corporate policies. Kind of like how now matter how nice and understan...
I've been working for a week now & I'm just not really seeming to get much better. Every day I've forgot to bag 1 item & have the customer leave the store without it & I'm so slow at bagging. I feel bad that I'm messing with the cashier's accuracy with my slowness & letting the conveyor bel...
In the Deli...no more wrapping the meat up in saran wrap. Got these new antimicrobial bags. I thought I was gonna like them, but I don't. You can't make heads or tails of anything in the counter. I've found bags of meat/cheese with tears in them..AND sometimes come across some that aren't even zipp...
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just curious. I've been working at Kroger for about 2 months now, and it's my first job. I started off in Bakery, then they switched me to a Cashier after 2 weeks since they needed help on the front end. A couple weeks later, I started getting days on my schedule to do Demo...
Why is it that the Kroger contracts keep getting worse with each new bargaining agreement ? I work in Michigan (UFCW 876) and the current contract is worse than the previous one ! Part timers top out at $10.50 an hour after 5 years and only get 2 weeks vacation max ? This is the best the union can get for u...
