Member activism wins promotions at Lynchburg Kroger

Member activism and the hard work of UFCW Local 400 shop steward Mary Little recently won a landmark victory at a Lynchburg Kroger store. All courtesy clerks there were promoted to front end clerks, gaining raises, benefits, holiday pay and paid vacations in the process. The promotions came after Little caught store management assigning the courtesy clerks tasks beyond the scope of their jobs, in clear violation of their contract. “I believe everyone should be treated equally,” Little said. “Courtesy clerks have a hard job. I’m just going to do everything I can to get every shop steward on board so we can get all of these courtesy clerks what they deserve.”
