Kroger Negotiations Update Several major UFCW Local Unions—including UFCW Local 1546—have been meeting with Kroger since February 24, 2011 in an effort to negotiate a reasonable contract offer to bring back to our Kroger members for a ratification vote. While our Union Representatives have been visiting the stores and distributing printed materials to provide our members with neogtiations updates, we will also periodically post updates on this website.

Does Labor History Matter? *A Special commentary from Tom Suhbur While stories about the corporate elite and powerful are regularly covered in school textbooks and the press, unions are usually treated as a mere footnote in history. In general, the media depicts unions in a negative light. Union leaders are typically referred to as “bosses” in the press. Movies often depict unions as being controlled by gangsters. Strikes, “riots” and corruption get the most attention.
