Loading ...After 36 years, management at Kroger grocery stores could be bagging groceries once again. Jesse Russell reports:
The 11,000 members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1099 are prepared to walk off the job at midnight on Friday if there is no new movement in contract talks. The union represents workers at Kroger grocery stores in Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Ohio, and northern Kentucky and are at a stalemate with the company over health care, wages, and pensions. The union is standing strong on a demand for a fully funded pension plan, one of the bigger issues holding up contract negotiations.
