Kroger officials have said they are ending the additional $2 hourly "hero pay" bonus that had been paid to workers since late March during the coronavirus pandemic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union held rallies Friday at Fred Meyer stores seeking additional pay for workers while the pandemic continues, KREM-TV reported. Fred Meyer has locations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. Testing for the coronavirus is available for Fred Meyer employees based on their symptoms and medical need, said Fred Meyer spokesperson Jeffrey Temple. Fred Meyer has also added safety measures throughout the stores including plexiglass partitions on check-out stands and masks for employees.
