Every day the financial news comes out with another rosy report on Kroger—the company is realizing record profits, increasing market share, and growing revenues. And how does the company want to reward its loyal Texas worker? With a kick in the teeth.

The company intends to bankrupt the health and welfare fund and force employees to choose between paying the rent or family health care coverage. It’s the same old dirty trick we’ve seen before.

UFCW Members Texas-Wide Are Sticking Together and Fighting Back.

UFCW Local 540 members from Dallas are joining the fight with Houston UFCW Local 455 and Local 408 members to stop Kroger from jeopardizing affordable health care.

Members from Local 540 will take a strike authorization vote this Friday, and when their contract expires on Sunday, there will be no extension.

Kroger can continue to play games and offer empty excuses—or they can get real and settle a fair contract. 

Whichever way Kroger wants to play it, UFCW members across the state will be standing together – one union with one voice – united in our demand for a contract that protects affordable health care.

It’s time to end Kroger’s dirty tricks.

We are more powerful when we speak together.
