UFCW Local 700 began bargaining with Kroger today for about 2,500 members working in 24 Kroger stores around Ft. Wayne. Our goal is to reach a balanced agreement with guaranteed wage increases and language improvements.

Both sides offered proposals about non-economic language items; we spent most of our time today talking about these.

Our next bargaining session is scheduled for July 29.

For more information, please contact your Union Representative.
