Paper work has to be requested, approved, submitted, re submitted and then snail mailed in triplicate via U.S. Cerified mail. That means someone has to pay a service to deliver it; someone else on the other end has to sign for it. Then comes more paper work as the zerox copies AND faxes of all this have to be shuttled back to the original source, which in your case means your hiring manager, who themselves have to consult with the current store manager who THEY then have to get with the H.R. director in your region, who then sends an e mail back to the recipients of that certified mail. With me so far?
At that point you're gonna have to get with the state dept. of labor and relations, who are gonna need micro film cut/copy/pasted documents of your birth cert., most recent DNA swab test and S.S. # Just submit the 3 colors for the DNA part: yellow in front, brown in back and white where ever else in your Hanes.
Then pick up the phone and call someone with your original question. Good luck!
From what I've been told, if you're an hourly employee, technically you work for the union. The union is providing Kroger with employees. That's why you always have union representation with you if you're ever in any sort of trouble. They're representing you as one of their own. Each union only has jurisdiction in a given area. When you leave one area and move somewhere else, you're basically quitting one union job and starting fresh on another. So yes, you will lose all your seniority and all your accrued vacation time. I know it doesn't sound fair, and it's not. I would be ticked off if I worked for Kroger for 20 years and lost all my seniority and vacation time just because I had to move.

Let this above post stand as the clearest, most logical, cut-n-dried glaring, screaming statement as to why YOU SHOULD NOT JOIN THE UFCW.
I mean....if you're not a member and the post doesn't get through to you not to join, you're stupid. Seriously. If you ARE enrolled and you support it? You're as blindly deluded as the Japanese soldiers waiting on the S. Pacific islands for word that WW2 was over.
Hey its Kroger they screw everyone I having to deal with the same issue but want to move out of one zone to another one which the store I want to go too the manager saying no full time bs but have full time at the store I'm at now.
