Hundreds of workers at local Fred Meyer stores are telling 成人X站 7 that there鈥檚 an ongoing problem with their paychecks.

Some say their paychecks are coming up short, while others say they鈥檙e not getting paid at all.

Unions representing Fred Meyer and QFC workers say they鈥檝e tried everything to resolve this problem and blame the rollout of a new computerized payroll program in October.

Some workers say they haven鈥檛 been paid since last month and others are still waiting for the pay raises they were supposed to get in October.

Unionized Fred Meyer workers in Oregon are suing its parent company, Kroger, in federal court over the same issues.

A grocery worker鈥檚 union is now planning a campaign to petition Fred Meyer customers to contact Kroger and urge the company to fix this problem.

鈥淥ne of my members, at this particular store in Tumwater, did not receive pay for five weeks and was continually working without pay,鈥� said UFCW Grocery Union representative聽Patty Estes. 鈥淭his is completely shocking, whenever we do have a contract that is up or changes like this that are made within a company, usually they鈥檙e fixed within a few weeks. I鈥檝e never seen it this bad before 鈥� especially around the holidays.鈥�

On Friday, workers from several Fred Meyer stores and one QFC store will be handing out leaflets in Pierce, Mason and Thurston counties, asking customers to help out with this issue.

In a statement to 成人X站 7, a Fred Meyer spokesperson confirmed that a technical error had affected payroll for some employees:

鈥淲e recently launched a new associate payroll processing platform. A technical error affected payroll processing for a small percentage of our associates. We have apologized to our associates and understand the impact.鈥�

Hundreds of workers are still appealing to the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries for relief.
