Company and Union Reach Fully Recommended Tentative Agreement

Kroger Columbus and UFCW Local 1776ks have reached a fully recommended tentative agreement on your new contract.

This is great news! We believe this agreement represents our commitment to reward associates with significant wage increases. We hope you agree this is a great offer that puts more money in associates’ paychecks, keeps healthcare premiums as they are today and continues to provide a pension for retirement.

• Significant wage increases
• $2.00/hour Overnight Premium
• Reduced hours requirement to move through wage scale
• More vacation sooner
• No Increases to healthcare premiums
• Secure Pension benefits
• 3-year Contract Term

We hope you agree this is a great offer. We encourage you to vote “Yes” to ratify the agreement when the union holds contract ratification meetings.

What Happens Next?

• The union will announce dates and locations for the contract ratification vote meetings.
• Ask questions, if you’re unsure about something talk to your store management team or your union representative. If we do not have the answer, we will find out and get back to you as soon as possible.
• We will continue to share open and honest updates as they are available. These updates will be shared in huddles, posted on store communication boards, FEED, and krogercolumbuscba.com.
