Toledo Workers
Fight for A Fair Contract

Who: UFCW Local 911 members in Toledo, Ohio
What: Members are negotiating a new contract
with Kroger Co. The contract expired, then was extended, but how now been
terminated by the union. At the suggestion of the Federal Mediator, there
is currently an week-by- week contract extension.
When: Bargaining
Committee members will continue talks with Kroger this week.
What's At Stake: Members
are looking for a contract that provides wages that
pay the bills, quality, affordable health care coverage and a secure retirement
for all workers. Members know
that Kroger is an extremely successful company, with a double digit market share
lead in the Toledo area, and that much of the company's success is due to Kroger
employees. With the climbing profits that Kroger has been posting quarterly,
members feel that Kroger can afford to treat its employees as the valuable
business asset that they are, and compensate them fairly.
