A grocery chain, owned by Kroger, and located in Oregon and Washington is currently facing a labor dispute regarding unfair labor practices and ongoing contract negotiations. The union representing Fred Meyer workers has called for a boycott of the grocery stores. According to the union, grocery store managers have pressured individual employees to leave the union. Customers have shared mixed views regarding the issue- many want to support employees but have found it difficult to shop elsewhere due to convenience.
