KENTUCKY/OHIO/WEST VIRGINIA (WVNS) — Kroger union members in West Virginia will soon vote on whether or not to strike later this week.

According to a press release from a spokesperson of the UFCW Local 400 Union, members working across 38 stores in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia will soon vote on a new contract and possible work stoppage. Members of the UFCW Local 400 Union have advised members to reject Kroger’s latest offer and to vote in favor of a strike.

Some of the issues cited in the release were inadequate wage increases failing to keep pace with inflation and unacceptable increases to health care costs.

Voting is scheduled to take place in certain stores Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and Thursday, February 29, 2024. Results will be tallied and announced Friday, March 1, 2024.

If the Kroger’s proposal is rejected and a strike authorization vote passes, the committee will be forced to call a strike. Workers will not strike immediately. According to the UFCW Local 400, approximately 3,000 workers.
