Here is a web-site about the UFCW: www.reapinc.org I have worked for the Kroger company many times and have been tricked into joining the union the first few times. Thankfully, Georgia has Right to Work laws that say you don't have to join. In my opinion the UFCW is kind of like your appendix. It really doesn't do anything and you can live without it but it's always been there. I have NEVER seen them do anything for employees.

I can agree somewhat on your dispute with your union. However unions are just like any company you work for, some are more competitive and better than others. Unions are only as strong as the members that serve under them. My father was a union coal miner for 26 years and he was treated very well. The safety (MSHA) admin. is far more strict within the union. Your wages are increased with seniority and safety records, you have an entire team of members fighting for increased wages, better safety standards, and to ensure that you have a job for years ahead. If you dare to disagree, than I challenge you to look at every other non-union corporation and see how they stack up to EVERY item that I have listed above.
