Seems that even an old fart like me can leard something new. Always thought there should be a way to do something about the unions when they fail to represent you. called the NLRB and they are sending me out a few forms for complaints about the union failing to represent and other problems. both my compl...

OK, so I worked doing salad bar and cut fruit. Salad bar was moved to a new store. So the cut fruit/salad bar hours were cut. I continued in the produce dept. But now that the hours for cut fruit has been cut back the lady doing that wants my hours in produce. She has seniority over me but I feel it unfair since...
Since I work at Krogers I hear their ads a lot, and in one ad the announcer mentions pink peppercorn ice cream. Has anyone else heard this ad? I don't know if the ads in all the stores are the same. In any case, I always go to the ice cream aisle to look, but I've never seen it with my own two eyes. It seems like s...
Kroger is ''Customer 1st'', but the chicken count always seems to outweigh the customer because, ''the numbers 'have to be 100% correct' and always 'on time' '', like we're machines or something of the sort. Just another example of kroger's 'finite wisdom'.
The following is a copy of a letter sent to the international office. I have to wonder if they ever follow up on complains. towards the locals. This is a case where they never did and the local 1000 rep and president failed to do their job as they are paid to do. Just believe that a number of their reps just...
Ok, what's up with this? Our store is in its fourth week of the new e-schedule thing, and it's hard to decide how I feel about it. On one hand I'm happy, because I just spent three months straight working 11-8 on Saturdays, and I have been off two Saturdays in a row. On the other hand, it's crazy. It breaks th...
The division I work for is switching from ordering with a handheld gun to the computer doing it automatically. Can anyone explain how the system works. I order a department currently. Will this cut hours?
I was not hired as Cashier nor trained to run register, but yet this guy up front continues to call ME out of all 50+ employes in the store to come up and run one when busy or even slightly busy. He is not a manager or Dept. head, just one of the Courtsey Clerks that runs Customer Service & registers. I hav...
Had a customer jump down my throat for purchasing markdowns. She seemed to think that employee's should not be allowed to buy markdowns. She went so far as to have a manager come to the check out and wanted him to force me to give her the chicken and beef that was in my cart. How stupid. She really got pissed...
I was looking at my savings acct today and I noticed a pay check deposit that looked really low. So I went to Express HR or HR Express or whatever the f*ck they call it and I pulled up that week. it was the Labor Day week a couple pay periods back. I usually just work 32 hours and get the 8 hours of holiday pa...
Now this is not about me or my local union. I have not had or seen problems like this in my local. But now in ufcw local 1000 , this is becomming common. Mr Burris and his reps will take months to contact anyone if they have a problem and need a rep. Now it seems that the international office is just as guilty of...
I had to work a late shift one day. The bagger that was working with me made up a lie to take off early. Another bagger took over and as a result had to do double duty This person has been known to lie before to get out of working and has been reported and is still here. I still wonder why.
