We know grocery workers have always been essential and should be treated that way. Unfortunately, not all Kroger stores have union representation. We believe all Kroger workers deserve stable schedules, living wages, and safe workplaces. No matter the Kroger brand – Ralphs, Dillions, Smith’s, King Soopers, Fry’s, QFC, Rulers, City Market, Owen’s, Jay C, Pay Less, Baker’s, Gerbes, Harris Teeter, Pick ‘n Save, Metro Market, Mariano’s, or Food 4 Less – you deserve a union contract.
