Local 700 Members Agree to
Contract Extension
"Local 700 members are standing together and staying strong as
they bargain with Kroger for a fair contract. Bargaining is slow but
progress is being made, both on health and welfare issues and on wages.
Members will continue to stand together to ensure that they receive a
fair contract, no matter how long it may take. To that end, the union
has agreed with Kroger to an open contract extension with a seven day
cancellation notice.
Local 700 members are also demonstrating their solidarity in their
stores by wearing Unity buttons.
The next round of bargaining talks will take place at the beginning of
June."
