DENVER — Colorado Safeway employees began a limited strike at stores in Estes Park, Fountain, Pueblo, and a Denver distribution center Sunday after contract negotiations with Albertsons Companies, Inc. stalled.
UFCW Local 7 said limiting the locations for the strike in the initial days will “allow time for the public to understand the problems these workers are facing, allow Safeway/Albertsons time to understand the seriousness of the workers’ resolve, and at the same time reduce the hardship on shoppers and workers alike that result from a wide-spread strike on shoppers and workers alike.”
The union and the Boise-based company that owns Safeway have been negotiating a new contract for the past few months, but both sides appear to have made little to no progress.
Union leaders voted to strike after the company rejected a final offer on Friday.
