Kroger Extension
Due to the current crisis with COVID-19, we have been unable to meet regarding the current contract expiring June 6th, 2020.
Kroger and the UFCW in other areas of the country have halted their face to face bargaining sessions and are now exploring virtual bargaining such as “Zoom” meetings.
We are in discussions on exactly how Local 1000 and Kroger will set up and begin bargaining. In the meantime, an Extension has been signed.
The current Collective Bargaining Agreement will remain in full force until a new successor agreement is negotiated.
Local 1000 will keep you updated throughout the process.
In the meantime, please take time to fill out the attached Bargaining Survey

New Telehealth Benefits for HAC and Kroger Members
I'm excited to introduce a new benefit recently agreed to by your healthcare fund trustees for members enrolled in health and welfare at Homeland and Kroger.
In light of the coronavirus outbreak, we want to make it easier for you to speak to a doctor. We're rolling out a new telehealth benefit: Teladoc.com. You can speak to a doctor 24/7 by phone or video: 800-835-2362. You can download the Teladoc app in the Apple store or in Android.
