A January 2022 Economic Roundtable report highlighted the desperate plights of grocery workers including low-wages and last-minute scheduling that sends them scrambling to find childcare and transportation.

You can show support for grocery workers in your community. Just take a selfie in front of your Kroger grocery store, tag @UFCW770 and say “I #standwithgroceryworkers.”
