Last week, unionized workers at Kroger in Houston voted to authorize a strike that could take place at any time…perhaps even as readers are paging through this post.
The workers had previously voted to authorize a strike last November after negotiations fells apart with the company in regard to a new contract. However, a strike did not occur while the company and the workers’ union continued to negotiate. With that being said, with apparently no serious advancement in regard to a new contract, the workers voted again to authorize a strike. While no date was set to strike, the vote gives the green light for these unionized workers to walk off the job at any time.
Will there be a resolution before Thanksgiving? Perhaps. With that being said, this is a rather tenuous situation with a strike appearing to be imminent but the exact timeframe of when it will occur not yet clear. Stay tuned.
