The International Brotherhood of Teamsters strongly opposes the sale of any assets of Kroger or Albertsons to C&S Wholesale Grocers as proposed in the companies’ September 2023 divestiture plan submitted to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The Teamsters, representing more than 22,000 members at Kroger and Albertsons nationwide, urge the FTC to reject C&S as a buyer.
“Kroger and Albertsons management has told everyone and anyone that no union members will lose their jobs, contracts, or hours if this merger goes through. Those promises mean nothing if they sell parts of either company to C&S,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “We’re not going to let any company put Teamster jobs at risk. Make no mistake—this deal is as anti-union as it gets if C&S ends up owning any part of Kroger or Albertsons.”
