From there it goes as follows : $7.50 after 1 year $7.70 after 2 years $8.50 after 3 years $9.50 after 4 years $10.50 after 5 years at which point you ar...
I thought we were to get pay raises with this contract starting 3/24 but it says my pay rate is still the same as before. Does anyone know anything about this? Figured I'd ask here before I ask union rep
My shifts are pretty much open-ended and sometimes I have to work late afternoon/early evening. Of course this also means I have to deal with the lazy kids. Well one evening lazy kid comes in and tells me that I only need to worry about the corral furthest away from the lobby. I get there to discover that...
I'm a new hire in Columbus, Ohio. I haven't even had my training yet. Any advice for a newbie? BTW, I'm going to be a cashier. -- Edited by Apple_Bee on Tuesday 16th of April 2013 07:56:28 PM
My store continuously schedules us for closing Midnight and opening the next morning at 6 a.m. When we complain, we are treated like there is something wrong with us and it is a big pain in the a__ __ to have to redo the schedule. Isn't the law 12 hours between shifts? Why don't you schedule managers t...
Hi I have been working for krogers for two years now and I want and need full time because I am in college and need the money. My csm says he can only give be 30 hours because I am too close to full time. Is their a way to find out how close I am. Some times my manager calls me in even though my CSM says I am too close....
The longer I work here the more let down I feel I work so hard and dedicate myself to the job and still can't get anywhere they expect more and more and ELMS hours are definitely sent down by people who have never worked behind the counter I'm not paid near what I'm worth other stores are paying my position $...

I got hired at a Food 4 Less store back in October, and things haven't been going too well. I have no major problems with my co workers or mangement, its the customers and the enviroment of the store that I do not like. Since Food 4 Less caters to lower income people that can't afford the higher prices of oth...
I am currently looking into, "who" I need to get in contact with about this issue, I'm still not sure who. I was hired around Feb, 2013 Being hired at my local Kroger store, I was asked "Do you have any experience working in a grocery store?"I did not. I also did not have ANY understa...
It seems that who does our replenisment just grabs something next to the hole and fills it with that. It seems like every night at least 6 or 7 times i will try to stock something and find the wrong item where I need to stock something. Does this happen at any other stores. I have talked to the department he...
How many night stockers (non-department heads) write orders? Out of the seven grocery orders that are transmitted at my store the department writes only two. Just wondering if is normal throughout the company. We don't have a qualified backup position in our contract jurisdiction. It seems like...
Either I've been suspended for three weeks, or I've been terminated without notice. The Union is (theoretically) investigating things, as termination shouldn't be an option as this is my first suspension in four years. Still, I'm looking for a new job, but I don't know if I still have mine or not. I...
I'm so sick of my coworkers walking out of the deli and not coming back for long periods of time. I don't generally like to make waves, but I don't like being taken advantage of either. Today a girl went off for break at around 8:30 (if not earlier) and didn't come back til 9:15, and she insists she clocke...
I was reading up on the wage increases in my union hand book and I see that after you hit 12.20 as a grocery clerk the next increase is 13.95 starting in june. but it doesn't give a time frame as to how long that jump takes, it just says there after. What exactly does that mean?
