ACME

TO THOSE MEMBERS EMPLOYED BY KINGS AND ACME

The following notice was sent to the Albertsons Companies on behalf of our members working for Kings and ACME as part of our obligation to inform and protect the affected membership.  When we receive a response, we will pass it along.  If we fail to get a response, we will file an appropriate action under the Collective Bargaining Agreements.

ACME CONTRACT RATIFICATION VOTE RESULTS

Notwithstanding the blizzard in New York and New Jersey, your Union was able to open the office this morning, February 23, 2026, in order to report the extremely important results of our ACME contract ratification vote.  As we stated in our previous posting, this contract is nothing short of amazing and addresses our needs moving into the future.

Again, some of the most important highlights are as follows:

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JOHN T. NICCOLLAI

ALBERTSONS-KROGER PROPOSED MERGER

President Niccollai reported today that close to 100 individuals attended the meeting regarding the proposed merger between Albertsons and Kroger held at the Hyatt O’Hare in Chicago yesterday.

ALBERTSONS-KROGER PROPOSED MERGER

UPDATE

Kroger and Albertsons announce definitive merger agreement:

Our posting yesterday announced the fact that Kroger and Albertsons were discussing a merger agreement. Late last night that merger agreement came to fruition with the result being the intent on the part of Kroger to acquire all Albertsons’ companies. Informed sources have indicated that consummation of the merger would not be fully reached until some time in late 2023 or 2024. In the interim, operations will continue as they presently exist.

Merger Talks Between Kroger and Albertsons:

Informed sources today commented on the merger possibility between the two biggest U.S. Supermarket chains, namely Kroger and Albertsons.

During the course of the pandemic and accompanying labor shortages, your Union has been involved in negotiations that would lead to wage increases for mainly entry-level employees. Obviously, your Union is in favor of seeing the earnings of members increase and we will continue to be most accommodating in allowing this to occur.

ACME-KINGS PAYROLL PROBLEMS

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

 

 

Your Union has been in a continuing battle with both ACME and Kings concerning the inability on the part of the Companies to pay members their proper rates and appropriate entitlements.  This situation must come to an end and, apparently, our demands to date have not moved the Companies to correct the problems.
