On Thursday, April 8, essential frontline grocery workers, community members, and supporters in California and Washington will host a symbolic “donation collection” in front of stores set to close, to help raise funds for the top supermarket chain in the country to pay its workers temporary hazard pay and call on Kroger to keep stores open.
All union members, customers, and community supporters are invited to participate in this masked and socially distanced demonstration on Thursday, April 8 starting at 11 a.m. outside the Wedgwood QFC, 8400 35th Ave NE in Seattle, which the company announced it would close in retaliation for Seattle’s passage of its hazard pay ordinance.
