Ralphs Expects Plea Deal on Hiring - By Martin Zimmerman, Los Angeles Times
The government alleged that Ralphs violated federal law by secretly rehiring about 1,000 locked-out workers to help keep stores open during the dispute. The company used fake names and Social Security numbers to conceal the effort with the 'tacit approval, if not encouragement' of Ralphs senior management, the indictment alleged.
Kroger has admitted that some store managers falsified records to rehire workers but has denied that the actions were sanctioned by the company.
The United Food and Commercial Workers union, which represented the grocery workers, had filed a complaint with the labor board during the dispute alleging that Ralphs had violated federal labor laws. The complaint was dismissed by the agency's Los Angeles office, but the union is appealing the October 2004 dismissal.
