UFCW Local 400, the union representing Kroger store workers, has condemned the company for its plans to cancel its so-called “hero pay” $2.00/hour pay increase after May 16th. The union is calling on the company to extend the bonus indefinitely until the end of this crisis for all Kroger employees continuing to work. The union has launched an online petition targeting Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen and is gathering signatures from thousands of Kroger union members in Virginia and West Virginia, as well as stores on the Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee borders. “Our members have risked their lives and the lives of their families to continue coming to work to serve customers through this crisis,” said Mark Federici, President of UFCW Local 400. “The danger they face everyday is still present, and with no vaccine in sight, will continue to be for quite some time. These heroes deserve to be compensated for the service they continue to provide to the community.” Read more here
