**Thanks to the WA Labor Council and UFCW 367 for this action idea**
Despite our nation’s growing economic anxiety, historic rates of inflation, and fears of recession brought on by rising food and consumer prices, Kroger and Albertsons are pushing for a corporate megamerger that could give them almost unchecked control over retail food prices, grocery store access, the food supply chain, and the wages and benefits of essential retail workers who were critical to our nation’s day-to-day survival during the pandemic.
The proposed Kroger Albertsons Megamerger spells disaster for consumers and essential workers everywhere.
Right now, you have the power to tell the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to take action against this mega merger that could drive up food prices. The FTC has the ability to stop this corporate mega-merger if it finds that the effect of it would substantially lessen competition or create a monopoly. By making your voice heard you can let the FTC know that this merger could needlessly raise food prices and hurt the wallets and wages of hard-working Americans like you.
Action: Email the FTC
