Stand with Fred Meyer Workers – Shop Somewhere Else!

UFCW Local 555 is calling for a boycott of Fred Meyer stores. More than 4,500 Portland-area Fred Meyer workers just wrapped up a six-day Unfair Labor Practice strike that drew huge support from fellow union members and the community at large. Unfortunately, Kroger management has failed to commit to ending unfair labor practices or held up their end at the bargaining table. 




Not only are they refusing to do right by their workers, Kroger is hurting shoppers as well. Evidence of deliberate price-gouging was revealed during FTC questioning over the proposed Kroger-Albertson’s merger. 


That’s why Fred Meyer workers are calling on the community to shop somewhere else until Kroger stops price gouging, and until workers get a fair contract that:


  • Ensures fair wages

  • Secures health & welfare

  • Strengthens retirement benefits for all workers. 

  • Meets current contractual obligations to workers.


Oregon is a union strong state; that means we have each other’s back. Whether it’s a boycott, strike or another action, management needs to see that an injury to one is an injury to all. Until Kroger makes it right, we’re taking our business elsewhere. We urge you to do the same.
