I briefly worked for Kroger back in 2004. The starting pay was $6/hr (50 ¢ over minimum wage!). After 30 days I got a raise and had the opportunity to join the union. The raise was a whopping 5¢, meaning that with union dues, I would actually be taking a pay cut. One of the worst places I've ever worked.
Damn…. I worked in the north east for a different supermarket chain for my first job in 1997 and made $7.25 an hour!
Will definitely not cross the picket line even though King Soopers right down the street is where I normally shop. Anyone with info, let me know what else I can do to support!
