CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Even though they’re now permitted to operate at 100 percent capacity, mask and social distancing regulations to prevent the spread of COVID-19 remain in effect at West Virginia’s retail, grocery and other stores.
The West Virginia Retailers Association (WVRA) released a statement Monday congratulating Kroger and UFCW Local 400 on reaching an agreement. The agreement will help over 4,200 frontline grocery works in Kroger’s 40 stores in West Virginia. The labor agreement includes more than $20 million in pay increases and improvements to the company’s healthcare coverage.
West Virginia is known as "Almost Heaven" as much for its gorgeous mountain topography and roaring whitewater as it is for its rich culture traditions and the never-met-a-stranger disposition of its people.
That heritage passed down from generation to generation has forged a do-it-your-self attitude which is apparent throughout the state, and possibly most visible in our historic downtowns and quaint neighborhood shopping districts.
