Again: I'm pro union..........But ANTI BULL $HIT. If they won't get you more hours? Don't give THEM any more money. That simple.
Would it be possible to do so? Also on Christmas week, I was scheduled 12 hours, but then they cut my hours to 8 because of Christmas pay would, in theory, give me 12, but apparently I wasn't eligible for Christmas pay so I only got paid for 10 hours, is this even legal?
Unless you signed some legally binding contract for which you can be sued for breach of, YES you can leave the union. I would at least try and work them first, tho. .....As far as pathetically slim hours? Nope, I'm afraid that is not illegal. Unfortunately.

That is absolutely disgusting. I need to get out of this job, and I use the term "job" very loosely.
Quick question: Is Holiday Pay different than "Legal Holiday" pay?
I've read some people on here, and heard some people in my store talking about how you have to be with Kroger X years to get Holiday pay.
I've only been with the company for six months but I get paid under the "Legal Holiday" section of my pay stub. It's not a lot (4-5 hours' worth), but I heard it was based on the average length of your shifts? It would make sense, since I'm part time and only work 15-20 hours a week.
I just checked my paystub for the Christmas week. I was told by 5 different people that I would be getting holiday pay even though I've only been at Kroger for 6 months because everyone gets holiday pay for Christmas. My paystub mentions nothing about holiday pay. I got "REGULAR EARNING," "SUNDAY PAY" (which isn't any different than my normal rate?), and that's it. But on top of my grossly large "UNION DUES" and "UNION ARREARS 1" I get taken out every week, I also have a new deduction of $10 for "UNITED WAY."

Where's my Christmas pay???
Hello, I'm the anon that posted before this guy^
I just checked my paystub online, and it's very different from 2013's (literally last week's pay stub)
Yeah, of course the YTD amounts would reset, but other things changed:

When I was a bagger and they gave me less than my minimum hours, I stayed clocked in and "worked" until I met the minimum at the end of the week. You take from me, I take what you took back.
For the anons' questions, your paystub is reset at the beginning of the year. Once you get holiday pay, reimbursement pay, overtime pay, etc it'll show up on your paystub again to remind you how much you've gotten since the new year started. As for holiday pay, it varies by contract. Some areas give holiday pay for everybody, none at all, or holiday pay only if you've worked there a certain number of years in order to qualify for particular holidays. My contract, for example, gives us Christmas holiday pay after 1 year.

When I was a bagger I picked up so many shifts that I started making more money than any non-CSM front end employee. Now that I'm a cashier nobody will let me take their shift, which really sucks. OTOH I actually get overtime now.
I really am so sick to death of the scheduling bull****. But I am just entirely way too comfortable where I am ....I like the people I work with a lot. I am so close to work it's not funny. But I think I might have to think about making a change. I can't believe how cheap they are (the big wigs of Kroger)
this is why Kroger has a high turnover rate. they cant expect to have valuable emplyees when they treat all of them like they are expendable. and no one is going to make a career of a company that pays so horribly. with all the people that have the same complaint and have voiced it they obviously do not care about their emplyees and that means they do not care about their customers. happy employees=happy customers, hard to have a good attitude when youre walked on. kroger will not become more successful due to their lack of consideration for their people. as soon as competition moves in their employees will move to the competition for the better pay and their customers will follow.
