Youre not worth anything. No low level employee is when it comes to most places. Youre replaceable on a whim. That's just the way things are nowadays... no one cares
That's what they need to do to about half the employees, most of the time they are on their phones or standing around talking, while on the clock. That's stealing time. I don't care how long you've worked with the company.

I am so sorry that our union would not fight for you. I am in UFcw 75 and for a long time I have felt this union was in Krogers pocket. I have seen a lot of crap Kroger is pulling over last few years and I decided to retire this coming January. I will be 65 and I am taking my 32 years and getting out because you cannot trust anybody at Kroger. You really cannot trust your union anymore.

You're not lying. I play fortnite, text and watch videos for about 2 hours when I'm at work at kroger all while on the clock.
All I can say is you did steal time. No matter the reason you have to be off the clock if your not working for Kroger. You should have taken a "lunch" break. you get up to an hour unpaid to do whatever you want. Sorry about your situation but it's not always someone else's fault. These days not enough people ask "what could I have done to avoid this situation." With that being said, you should get your job back after fighting it. We have 1 person that used to always go outside to smoke and go to the quik trip down the street on the clock when working over night. She still works here, but has been in just about every department now. I guess they cant find a way to fire her.
Ask the union to challenge it and say medical emergency. Kroger was not calling 911 instead you partook it to handle the situation. Kroger was denying 911 privileges. Like they have done to me a few times.
