Membership Meetings
Local unions have regularly membership meetings that all members as welcome to attend. This is where important business, like upcoming negotiations, formation of bargaining committees, planning for community events and more is discussed. Because it is impossible to cover all the ways you can get active at your specific local union, attending one of these meetings can be a great way to dive in and learn more about what is going on and how you can be involved.
Kroger Arbitration
Per the union contract at Kroger in the Dallas division, UFCW Local 1000 is proceeding to arbitration on a key part of your contract language affecting daily overtime. The above language is quoted from the contract. Be very vigilant regarding your paychecks because we believe that the company is applying the daily overtime exception to employees without their express agreement and consent, thereby denying them due overtime pay. Send all grievances to grievances@ufcw1000.org or call your union representative at 817-421-1003.
