Grocery workers at Fred Meyer and Quality Food Centers have voted “overwhelmingly” to authorize their union to strike against the Kroger Co. subsidiaries, as grocers enter into one of the busiest seasons of the year.

Representing over 29,000 essential workers in Oregon and Southwest Washington, members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555 (UFCW 555) “have voted overwhelmingly to authorize their Union Leadership to call for an unfair labor practice strike against Fred Meyer and Quality Food Centers (QFC),” according to a statement on Dec. 11.
