Your UFCW Local 700 Union Negotiating Committee continued negotiations with Kroger for a new contract for workers in Central Indiana Kroger stores. The Union and Company have made progress, but we need some more time to reach a final agreement.
We are committed to reaching an agreement that raises pay; protects affordable, quality health care benefits; and keeps members safe at work.
The contract between UFCW Local 700 and Kroger Indianapolis expires May 14, 2022; the Union and the Company have agreed to a contract extension through June 18, 2022. The extension will provide additional time to finalize health and wellness coverage and pension benefits, and to continue negotiating over pay. During the extension, your pay, health care, and work rules remain unchanged.
We plan to resume negotiations next week with the assistance of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS).
Should you have any questions or desire further information, please contact your Union Representative.
