UFCW Local 555 - Kroger Boycott

As the Fred Meyer ULP Strike Ends, The Union Calls for Boycott

Thousands of Fred Meyer grocery and meat department workers have returned to work following an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike over Labor Day Weekend.

This strike demonstrated the incredible strength of union members who stood together for better treatment in the workplace. But the work is not done! Fred Meyer needs to follow Federal Labor Law and respect workers’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act.

They also need to stop price gouging customers!

It came to light in Kroger's FTC trial that the company engaged in widespread price gouging on everyday essentials like milk and eggs. Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris has committed to ending price gouging in grocery stores, and holding bad actors accountable.

While the workers have returned to their jobs, the battle for a fair contract is ongoing. UFCW Local 555 remains dedicated to securing a contract that ensures fair wages, secures health & welfare, and strengthens retirement benefits for all workers.

UFCW 555 is now calling on the community to support workers by not shopping at Fred Meyer until a fair agreement is reached and Fred Meyer’s admitted price gouging has stopped.

“The fight for a fair contract is not over,” said Dan Clay, President of UFCW Local 555. “The community stood with us through the ULP strike and we know they will do the same until Fred Meyer delivers a contract that lets its employees thrive in the cities where they work. The ULP strike was just the beginning of our members' campaign for a better life. It’s our expectation that Fred Meyer must work within the law, take care of their employees, and stop price gouging our communities.”
