What a joke. I keep getting visits from a union rep asking me why I'm not buying their inferior product. Can they keep bugging me like this? I'll never join the union and sure as hell would die before I put any money to their liberal causes. No chance. They are so outdated. I had an issue the other day and what would have normally took months going through the union took me about 15 minutes. What a joke. I don't need to pay anyone to handle my issues that the law protects against regardless.

The only joke here is YOU. Its only a matter of time before Kroger gets rid of the filth being you. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!
I am a member of Local 1996 here in Atlanta-they went to bat for me (and I won!) when a manager wrote me up and it was thrown out.
Thats great. Recently I was caught in produce being butt f u c ked by another employee. The union saved my job they blamed the whole incident on the Asian who was pumping me because we were out of shrimp. Oh were both gay both male at times anyway and he smells like fish and chips
The union is absent, uninterested and toothless, and doesn't make any sense for part time employees.
The problem is that now that's everyone. They've already failed.
If I had some ridiculous full time contract with Sunday pay and awesome benefits, I might have to think about it.
But I don't so this might as well be Walmart.
^ THIS.
I've been saying for some time the UFCW is a crooked ass racket and completely worthless to the modern day retail worker. Save your dues money, it's wasted on those pricks.
The union would do two things. Listen to you bitch and tell the company who said what, and negotiate the contract the company wants. Vote to strike. Every time. No matter what they offer. Every time. THEN make your needs known.
I love the union. I've been there 5 years this time. I worked at the company about 10 years ago for a year. When I came back my starting pay was somehow $2 less an hour from when I worked the first time. It made no sense, and human resources acted like they couldn't do anything about it. I contacted the union and ended up getting the correct hourly pay along with back pay for every hour I had already worked. The union helped when I was having serious issues with another employee that managment wasn't handling. They also helped when I put in a request to transfer to days from third shift. Management tried telling me that the portion in the handbook that states you can move to days after a year on third shift, as long as you have seniority over somebody, only applied to employees that started in like 1980. Completely made up and incorrect haha. Plus, if you're in an at will state, your employer can't fire you for nothing if you're in the union.
These threads are always infiltrated by corporate d-bags (who are likely unionized themselves). Bounce, parasites - this forum isn't for fools who got the job for being related to someone on the board of directors.
