Last week, I posted about Evan Seyfried (https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/w4fpb3/we_want_justice_for_evan/), an exemplary employee of Kroger for two decades who took his own life on March 9, 2021, due to prolonged psychological abuse from two store managers.
Read about what he endured:
- The Washington Post article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/07/15/kroger-suicide-seyfried/
- The pending lawsuit: https://www.scribd.com/document/515480124/Lawsuit-Kroger-manager-drove-employee-to-suicide
TAKE ACTION IN ANY OF THESE WAYS:
- BILLBOARDS. Donate to fund billboards throughout Cincinnati, where Kroger headquarters are located, to call out Kroger for their psychological abuse of employees.
