Local 876 Kroger Workers Ratify New Contract

A majority of 17,000 UFCW Local 876 members who work in 125 Kroger stores in southeast Michigan voted to accept a new contract with the company on March 15.

The new contract increases wages and secures benefits. Workers’ health care and benefits were protected in the new contract for both full- and part-time employees and their spouses, and pension contributions were increased across the board. The new contract also improves working conditions at the stores. Now, part-time workers can claim more hours, up to 34 hours per week (up from 28 hours), and can earn more paid time off.

“Our UFCW 876 members are the reason why Kroger is so profitable right now, and they deserve to share in that success,” said UFCW 876 President Roger Robinson. “They work hard every day to make sure Kroger is the place people want to shop in southeast Michigan. Their high-quality customer service deserves to be rewarded and I’m glad that is recognized in this contract.”
