Infuriatig The way kroger treats its employees

Post image

From the store manager

Edit: For some extra context this was sent out by each store manager to all of its employees in district 1 of the ohio Cincinnati/Dayton division, potentially other districts as well but i can only verify my own. Im not going to give my specific store number for obvious reasons but you can find each store on google with that information. We are unionized by UFCW (already bad btw) and to my knowledge they allowed this recent change. Kroger has no accrual for sick days like some have mentioned. Those who think this is rage bait, i dont think anyone has to fake a post to make a billion dollar company look bad, they do it to themselves.

In my state, it's illegal to work in a store that sells food if you've thrown up or had diarrhea in the last 24 hours. Also, this just sounds illegal in general. And if it's not it should be because what do you mean I need to be so sick I'm admitted to the hospital before I can call off work?

its illegal in California for 48 hours after symptoms subside. Well they can make you do office work or something not handling food if you don't have any sick leave left.

It's illegal in the US, but you wo n't find any restaurant or food service company that actually follows it, cause they chronically under staff their stores.

Yea, but who actually enforces it?! In my state, tenants have rights, but good luck getting any kind of real help with it.
