Workers Challenge Mega Grocery Merger

FEATURING GRACE GARCIA - A federal judge is deciding whether or not to approve the biggest grocery corporate merger in U.S. history. The Kroger and Albertsons chains say they want to merge in order to better compete with non-unionized grocery retailers such as Walmart.

The Biden administration’s Federal Trade Commission has sued to stop the $25 billion deal saying it would not help lower food prices, and could hurt worker rights and wages. 

Meanwhile, UFCW 770 has led union workers in opposition to the merger.
