I need to know what the 7th rule is in the handbook because I got fired after 18 years working for kroger for violation of store rule number 7 ???? Can anyone help
You have got to be kidding that you don't know why you got fired.
After 18 years, you know to never ever sign a write-up or termination notice? File a grievance with the union and ask them to find out why you were fired.
It could be rule # 7 from your department or rule # 7 that your store manager made up.
What department did you work in and did you do anything wrong within the last 2 weeks? Have you been given a verbal warning about anything lately?

You need to look up rule 7 in the handbook they have you when you got hired. Or as your fellow co workers to see their handbook. Obviously rule 7 must be BIG for you to get term'd for it
I was fired from a bank after 15 years. I was never given a specific reason for being fired. It's just a companys way of replacing a higher wage employee with benefits with a minimum wage employee. More cost effective for the company.
Usually isn't someone supposed to get a reason as to WHY they were fired? I'd think someone with nearly two decades in should at least deserve more than a ****ing bull**** reason.

There can be exceptions, but generally, you're right. Some states allow employees to be fired without cause (employment-at-will states) while some do not. However, the union protects us significantly from that possibility.
