Kroger workers across the U.S. are suing the company for wage theft. Kroger delayed paychecks, failed to pay overtime, and double charged workers for premiums.
They've let the problems go unresolved for 6 months. And the company could soon control 30% of the grocery industry if their merger with Albertsons is approved.

It’s terrible. I was cheated 3 pay periods in a row. Still trying to recover. There is no excuse! They need to prosecuted. It should be illegal!
-
When 78% of employees who work at a GROCERY STORE are food insecure, you know you are living in a society in decline.
-
Just Walmart has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from its employees and gets merely a monetary fine that does not affect their business in any way (sued $224M in 2016 and $102M in 2021)... But if a normal person steals even 100,000th of what Walmart steals then they go to prison and face a much more proportional fine. I say that not necessarily as a justification for shoplifting, but as an acknowledgment that there is a two-tiered justice system for normal people and corporate 'persons'.
-
These companies shouldn't be allowed to get away with this, just like politicians.
-
How can Kroger's do this to their employees? Most of their employees are living pay check to pay check. Can you imagine how their employees feel about being underpayed? It feels so bad to work for nothing when you are promised an hourly wage. Yes, it's illegal too.
-
I love how these corporations cannot afford to pay their employees a decent wage or at the very least 40 hours plus healthcare, but they'll come up with billions to buy another company.
-
When my Kroger manager talked down to me and told me I was lucky to have a job, I walked. They take advantage of people and don’t treat them human at the store I was at
-
They are purposely jeopardizing your ability to pay your bills !
-
you know... whats even more shocking to me than the wage theft... is that someone working a full time job has to be on government assistance to survive
-
Fun fact: wage theft by corporations is WAY larger than any other types of theft.
-
This is criminal, all should be arrested and be forced to work with the employees that's not being paid
-
I worked for Kroger in my teens from 2001 to 2003. Back then it was unionized and it was my first experience ever concerning unions. I was young, healthy, and naive enough that I didn’t understand or make use of things that immensely helped my fellow co-workers and provided for an overall better environment. I’m shocked to find out Kroger is no longer supporting it’s employees. How hard is it to do right by one another? Basic humane ethics shouldn’t be this damn hard.
-
Being food insecure while working at a grocery store is insane
-
Isn't it amazing that their mistakes always seem to benefit themselves? They never accidentally give everyone bonuses.
-
Despicable actions on the part of Kroger! They must be held accountable and pay back their employees with interest.
-
I find it strange that they are able to run a significant line of credit to procure produce, and finance mergers and acquisitions, but somehow, none of these financial institutions seem interested in knowing whether they can, or do actually pay their bills, thw largest of these being their workforce. This is shocking how a company can effectively force their workers to lend them their wages.
-
When Tonya said, "They don't fix the problem, they make it look like you're the problem", no truer words have been uttered. I worked in the Kroger deli for 5 years and that was management's attitude as they scheduled less and less people, but still expected the same productivity.
-
I used to work at Kroger for 4 years. They treat their employees like garbage and never support them in any way, shape, or form. Back when the pandemic started, we were forced to work. The hours were longer, but our pay did not go up at all. The only thing we were ever given, as far as I can remember, was a $25 in sore coupon to buy stuff...and that was at the very start of the pandemic. But the people at the top continue to rake in the profits while they choked us at the bottom.
-
Why don't we solve it this way; just don't shop at Kroger until they publicly apologize and admit to this catastrophic blunder.
-
I prefer shopping at kroger even though their prices are a bit high because the employees are polite, work hard, and the stores are way more clean than WalMart. That said the CEOs at kroger shouldn't receive ANY SALARY until they do right by their employess. How they got the nerve to fork out 24 billion for Albertson's is revolting.
