New Dates for Indianapolis Negotiations

Your UFCW Local 700 Bargaining Committee is reviewing, analyzing, and costing additional contract proposals. We will meet again with the company on June 5 and June 6 to continue negotiations for a new Indianapolis Kroger contract.

We’ve made progress on contract language and expect most of our discussion on these new dates to focus on health care and wages. We are working for guaranteed pay increases over the life of the contract; protecting affordable, quality health care; and securing your retirement benefits for the future.

The Indianapolis Kroger contract is extended until June 15, 2019. Your contract stays the same during the extension, including your pay and all work rules.

Should you have any questions or desire further information, please contact your Union Representative.

Indianapolis Kroger Contract Extended

Your UFCW Local 700 Bargaining Committee has been meeting with representatives from the Kroger Co. this week. We’ve exchanged health care proposals and received a wage proposal from the Company; there has also been progress on contract language.

In negotiations, we are working for guaranteed pay increases over the life of the contract; protecting affordable, quality health care; and securing your retirement benefits for the future. The contract between UFCW Local 700 and Kroger Indianapolis was set to expire on May 12, 2019, but both parties need more time to cost and analyze these new proposals.

We’ve agreed to extend the Indianapolis Kroger contract until June 15, 2019. Your contract stays the same during the extension, including your pay and all work rules.

The parties are in the process of scheduling additional dates for negotiations.

Should you have any questions or desire further information, please contact your Union Representative.

UFCW700, Kroger Continue Negotiations for Indianapolis Contract

Your UFCW Local 700 Bargaining Committee met with representatives from the Kroger Co. yesterday, May 6, and today, May 7. We’ve made good progress on items related to contract language, and are working to resolve some outstanding issues.

The Company presented its health care proposal today, which we are reviewing and costing. Our focus in negotiations is guaranteed pay increases over the life of the contract; protecting affordable, quality health care; and securing your retirement benefits for the future. A careful analysis of today’s proposal is important because the health care coverage negotiated as part of the Indianapolis Kroger contract will also apply to Kroger workers in Ft. Wayne and South Bend. We will respond to their proposal when we reconvene.

We hope to receive the Company’s wage proposal when we meet again on Wednesday, May 8, and Thursday, May 9.

The contract between UFCW Local 700 and Kroger Indianapolis expires on May 12, 2019.
