Kroger Campaign
Despite findings of forced labor in its supply chain, Kroger — which is on track to become the largest supermarket in the country — has remained steadfast in its silence. Join us in demanding Kroger take responsibility by signing onto the Fair Food Program!
-
In 2022, the notorious crewleader of Los Villatoros’ harvesting company, Bladimir Moreno, pleaded guilty to the federal charge of conspiracy to commit forced labor. Under Moreno, more than a dozen workers were held in forced labor, compelled to harvest fruits and vegetables that ended up on our kitchen tables.
In a shocking revelation, the U.S. Department of Labor named the supermarkets that profited from this abuse — and Kroger, one of the country’s largest supermarkets, was at the top of the list. But horrifyingly, this wasn’t even the first time that Kroger’s supply chain was found to be tainted by forced labor.
With the support of thousands of allies in Florida, CIW has worked diligently to sound the alarm about the conditions in Kroger’s supply chain. Together as students and farmworkers, we have urged Kroger’s corporate leadership to do the right thing for over a decade. However, Kroger has yet to take responsibility for protecting farmworkers in its supply chain from modern-day slavery by joining the Fair Food Program. Take action with us below to let Kroger know that it’s time!
