I have had 20 consecutive weeks in a row of working 40 hours a week. Now they want to cut me back to 30 hours a week. Does anyone know how many weeks you have to work consecutively of 40 hours to be mandated full time?
In most states it's 36 or 40 hours for 12 consecutive weeks. Some go by Kroger "quarters," however. So, my guess is either it's not in your contact, it goes by quarters, or you're getting screwed.
This is definitely something you should ask your union steward about. If he doesn't know, ask your representative.
Typically in some contracts its 12 consecutive weeks in a row. If they bumped you down by 32 hours in one week during those 12 weeks it resets. I would definitely talk to your union representative about this. I would also like to point out it could be based on an average as well like my contract. Are you local 1000 by any chance?

I'm in Texas...They gave me 40+ hours a week for more than a year as part time...i told them give me full time or im going to HEB..they gave me full time..still went to HEB...best decision i ever made.
It doesn't clarify in contracts that just because a "new year" begins means that it bumps the 40 hour lock in rate. This would lead to arbitration especially since there are 13 periods ending sometime at the end of January. Most contracts just say 12 consecutive weeks in a row.
