Food products distributor Sysco Corp. said it has agreed to
allow some of its employees to work at Kroger Co. locations for 30
days or more as the companies grapple with the coronavirus
pandemic.
Sysco said Friday that temporarily furloughed employees will be
able to take advantage of working at the grocery-store chain. Sysco
employees who opt to do this will continue to be paid by the
company and will receive any of the benefits they typically
receive.
"This agreement will benefit many of Sysco's associates by
creating good work opportunities with a respected company, while at
the same time helping to alleviate strain in the food supply chain
due to a surge in demand at retail stores," said Sysco Chief
Executive Kevin Hourican in prepared remarks.
