Kroger, the nation's largest traditional grocery chain, announced significant policy changes this week aimed at compelling employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
What are the details? Starting next year, the Cincinnati-based company will no longer provide two weeks of paid emergency leave to unvaccinated employees who become infected with COVID-19, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday after viewing a company memo.
The paper noted that Kroger also plans to add a $50 monthly surcharge to company health plans for salaried nonunion employees who are unvaccinated. Both policies are set to take effect on Jan. 1, the Journal said.
According to the Associated Press, in an email to employees, Kroger leadership said the company would still offer "various leave options for employees who contract the virus, including earned paid time off and the ability to apply for unpaid leave," but that paid "special" leave would now only be available to fully vaccinated employees.
What else? Kroger, which employs nearly 500,000 people who interact with up to 9 million customers every day, will reportedly continue offering a $100 reward to employees who get the shot.
The company's policy changes fall short of a vaccine mandate. Rather, they aim to pressure employees to get vaccinated by making life more difficult for those who choose not to do so. Or in this case — more expensive.

That’s… blatantly illegal.
Kroger the oger.
Lots of other markets to work for. And they’re hiring.
Gee, I wish there were Kroger’s in San Antonio.
So I could boycott them.
If Health Insurers were forward thinking, they would DENY Coverage any symptoms or health problems related to the fake vaccine
I find that an appalling change.
We occasionally shop at Kroger. I guess it will be less often, now.
Fry’s groceries are owned by Kroger.
Notice that they are doing this only to nonunion employees? If it is important, then why not for the unionized?!
I’ve stopped shopping at Fry’s (Kroger here in Phoenix) because of their mask requirements. I only go in that store to use the bank machine.
Easy one! Boycott Kroger. And let them know why too! If boycotts didn’t work the left wouldn’t do them to us.
More discrimination based on health status. And here I thought discrimination was bad. Silly me.
FDR's Executive Order 6102, confiscating America's Gold was blatantly illegal.
Got away with it scot-free.
Laws don't apply to the BIG people.
cuz it is not about health
I would sue based on disrimination on medical status.
Nice, now employees at Kroger who get Covid have a strong incentive to not call in sick.
.
Duress is a violation of the Nuremberg Code.
Kroger execs who think the Nuremberg Code does not apply to them may have to get a teaching moment by future firing squad.
The mudbloods are losing patience with us...
So, perhaps the unvaccinated at Kroger’s should be assigned their own bathrooms an water coolers?
There's too much and too many wokeism/wokeists.
Why? They’re a private company. You and I may disagree with it, but they can. What if they raised premiums for smokers? Would you object to that?
