Thank you to everyone that let us know you were interested in being on the bargaining committee for negotations with Kroger. While you may not have been selected we will keep a record of your interest for any future opportunites.

That being said, a selection of your peers & shop stewards coming from departments such as Deli, Bakery, Floral, Front End, Starbucks, Price Integrity Clerks & Fuel Center will make up the bargaining committee. Having held our first meeting it is clear that these members are committed to representing you well at the bargaining table.

UFCW Local 1000 takes the challenges that face workers seriously, as well as the opportunity Collective Bargaining presents to address them and improve the lives of the workers we represent. As such and in preparation for bargaining, President Burris & Secretary Treasurer Foley-Howard had meetings with the UFCW International Director of Bargaining and other UFCW Locals in our Region to review research on grocery industry trends in our areas and as well as Kroger's position in the DFW area.

Be on the lookout for bargaining surveys and information regarding the bargaining committee.

President Burris and UFCW Local 1000 staff met with Shop Stewards and VOC's to discuss preparation for upcoming bargaining and existing issues in the stores.
