Would you be opposed to private companies charging overweight employees more for health insurance? Funny how small government conservatives turn into big government statists as soon as their oxen get gored.
If they want to adjust their health insurance rates based on employee exposure to health risk why don’t they have each employee submit their body mass index (BMI). See how well that goes over.
There’s a labor shortage, and lots of other businesses desperate to hire, but okay, Kroger, you go right ahead. Signal that virtue as if Karens are your only customers.
Also Harris Teeter grocery stores are owned by Kroger.
Oh no, Fred Meyer. I shop there once a month because they have things no other store carries. Wonderful employees too. And gas points on all purchases, which makes their gas station cheapest in town for good customers.
I wonder what the other stores have mandated for employees. Safeway? Albertsons? Trader Joe? Natural Market? (I doubt it. They’re very smart about carrying things that build natural immunity).
Discrimination on health status AND union status.
Under commie care, obesity and smoking can land you 50% premium surcharges from the carrier.
At the time that was initiated, there were a few state and local governments that surcharged for smoking.
Never something I agreed with. I know there were some state and local govs that surcharged employees in that fashion at around that time too.
It’s the definition of “extortion”....all these employers are guilty.
Did the UCFW go along with this?
Raising premiums for smokers is backed up by common sense and unquestioned medical fact. This vaxx crap is based totally on vaxx crap propaganda. There is no medical or financial justification for this. If honest studies were published the non vaxxed might be due a refund because they avoid the risk of getting sick and or dying from an array of different vaxx induced maladies.
They have them in the Houston area. I don't boycott them. They suck so much I rarely ever go there. HEB kicks their butts. I did use the Kroger pharmacy for a couple of years for the prices. But the service was terrible. I'd fill my prescriptions via their app, and it would always take days for them to fill them. The lines at the pharmacy are always long. When my turn at the window came up, it would take 5 minutes to get my stuff. The guy behind the glass would say "I see you already paid for this online". He would then proceed to dick around scanning stuff, walking back and forth to other areas and finally I would get my stuff. You'd think a prepaid order could be done quickly, but nope. That's why the lines are long.
Kroger employees do not have the means to bring forth a lawsuit, and the Suits know it.
Kroger is doing this? Wow, I always thought Kroger was a good company. Too bad.
The trader Joe’s here was probably the most militant when it came to marks I their store.
They posted an employee or 2 outside the front door and “reminded” people masks were required in the store.
Not to mention for a few weeks there they were only allowing a certain # of people inside at any given time.
What a bunch of nazis
Well, Publix just gained a new customer.
Kroger thus joins Delta Airlines, Woka-Cola, and Gillette Razors as entities that do not receive my business.
These WOKE companies need to fire their PR departments.
I think that it opens them to a lawsuit.. for sure.. there is a collective bargaining agreement. And, frankly. It is a bizarre policy as well because it forces workers to come in sick. That’s stupid.
Lots of lawyers want a crack at this. They can find representation if they have a claim.
Declaring some races, one gender or one religious or ethnic group second class does sound illegal——but in the New America of the Dems it may or may not be.
SCOTUS just knocked down religious protection over forced jabs. What’s next?
you’re obliged to be vaccine raped or else!
