This is excellent research. Kroger actually figured pretty heavily in a book I wrote (The Meth Lunches, St. Martin's press, 2023) I'm interested in the union issues because The Smith's store (owned by Kroger) that I wrote about pays a higher hourly wage, like $23/hour, but keeps people at 20 hours a week while expecting employees in the stores to be avaiable to pick up extra shifts. It has made it hard for some of the people I've written about and it fascinates me that this hasn't become a public policy issue (but of course it hasn't LOL) Thanks so much for this. I guess I am a grocery nerd!
