Politicians campaign on protecting American jobs. Call your local reps and state senators over the concerns of Cincinnati and Ohio’s largest employer sending jobs overseas. It’s election season and we can use our voices to pressure politicians.
Jon Husted (Ohio senate) - (202) 224-3353. Option 5
Bernie Moreno (Ohio Senate)- (202) 224-2315
Greg Landsman - Cincinnati Rep (202) 225-2216
If you don’t see the connection between voting in all elections (especially local/state) and this outcome then there is no hope. Taxing millionaires and billionaires at a fair rate in line to what working people pay so we have revenue to pay for things like universal healthcare to decouple from your job, regulations on companies so they can’t offshore jobs to save a buck. Not regulating these huge companies or collecting tax from the super rich means that they just keep funneling money to themselves. Look for candidates that are looking to reign them in. Make it illegal to offshore these jobs. Additionally the current administration restricting work visas means they have to take the jobs offshore. Are we GREAT yet?

Read this above which is true since I have heard from people that manages this side of business. Gas price is insane and as a grocery company the margin is already thin so this government is indirectly responsible for this. Look many company are doing this and even Netflix announced as well . This su-ks and I don’t support this and I rather have American people do the job in USA but I have seen so many people in kroger that does nothing and get paid well, eliminating those roles will save some cost. I personally know few remote people that barley does the work and eliminate those roles will have zero impact to kroger.
@a2 can’t blame just him for this though. It’s been happening for years…across all presidents since around Reagan. I get what you’re saying though because he is the one in control now.
I can’t say I’ve read everything that is out there, but a lot of what I have read in media is more focused on the AI aspect vs the offshoring. Interesting to see how Kroger has put that spin on this. Curious in the end to see how many roles are truly eliminated vs moved to Bengaluru.
Idk why white collar work being outsourced can't be tariffed just like physical goods.
The corporations are trying to work around visa crackdowns and finding it's far cheaper to have work done remotely out of country while telling in country staff to RTO.
Everyone is working remotely even those working in an office. Any work that can be done remotely will be offshored.
@aj are you seriously this deluded to think government especially republicans will intervene in a decision of private company to improve their margins while they brand it as part of effort to reduce prices? I didn’t know people at Kroger were living in so much delusion!
@ah the flip side is that Ohio is republican and the republican governor candidate is pro foreign tech workers. If you want to get real attention, press the current congressmen and senators that are looking for reelection
Kroger is actually lagging behind other retailers who have already set up GCCs in India. These companies need incentives to keep jobs here. It’s awful Kroger has to do this to stay competitive and survive. Vote Republican- I’m not even sure that will work, but it’s the best option we have to keep jobs in the United States at this point.
What you people fail to understand is that we were are and will always be a capitalist nation! We are not communist to control our private companies! Go and read our history for once and how companies have done worse then this in past and nothinghappened
@a2 trump is coming to town this week actually to campaign for Ohios race. Use this as a chance to maybe get it addressed during his rally.
Actually did this myself. Voiced concerns as the impact it would have on Ohioans and jobs here. It is anonymous, just have to state your zip code :)
