I work at a Kroger in Michigan, our current contract is shit, and our pay is shit, we are having issues with staffing at my store (one of the busiest in the state) and a lot of it is caused by low wages. Also none of us want that merger, I know my union had us send a notice to some government office about it.

Yeah, I worked there part time for a year a long time ago. Pay was shit (for people with no seniority) then too. I think it was because hardly anyone really participated in the union (I didn't and neither did anyone I knew). It was just a "stepping stone" job for most of us while we were going to tech school. And the manager was worst manager I've ever had; ineffective and abusive.
