Negotiations

Local 1000 Members Ratify New Deal with Kroger
Members of Local 1000 ratified a new four year contract with Kroger stores across North Texas. Local 1000’s approximately 6,000 Kroger members overwhelmingly ratified the deal in meetings Sunday and Monday.

“Our members stayed active and interested over a very long bargaining period” said Local 1000 President Ricky Burris, “They kept the pressure on the Company in every store we represent and let Kroger know a poor contract was not an option.”

The new contract holds the line on health care cost, increases company pension contributions, and includes pay raises up to $1.71 an hour over the course of the contract. It also adds night shift, lead and manager differentials, increased vacation/holiday accessibility and improved dental coverage.

“This is a good agreement and continues to provide our members with one of the best compensation packages in our industry and region.” –Ricky Burris, UFCW Local 1000 President

The new contract will go into effect Sunday May 30th, 2010

ATTENTION KROGER MEMBERS
On December 4, 2009, your Kroger Contract expires. I would ask that our members not be fooled by the smiling faces of management and incorrect information. The facts are, there are many areas of the contract that have a substantial impact on you and your family!
Attention Kroger Members
 
Did You Know???
Isn’t Houston and Dallas the SAME Kroger Texas?
Ask your Store Manager why Kroger values the workers in Houston MORE than they value workers in Dallas!!!
