Albertsons is giving up on its merger with Kroger a day after it was rejected in two courts and it is suing the grocery chain, saying it didn’t do enough to secure regulatory approval of the $24.6 billion agreement.

      If you have options where you live, you may want to look for a better grocery store. Kroger is not known for supporting their employees.

        I have King Soopers (Kroger) or Whole Foods. Since Whole Foods is owned by Amazon is that even a better option employee-rights wise?

          Nope. Illusion of choice is the American way.

        I got 3 Krogers close by, and a Meijer about 20 minutes away. Not really the best alternative.

          He got in before they went to shit. That’s like starting at Walmart in the early 80s when they had employee benefits.

          New employees don’t get the old perks

            A major but too-often ignored union-busting tactic, BTW.
