As of Sunday, June 15, Safeway workers in four Colorado cities are on strike, as well as those at a Safeway distribution center in Denver. Safeway workers are striking because Albertsons, Safeway’s parent company, has not responded to the union’s requests for better pay and higher staffing at grocery stores in the state, according to the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 7, the grocery union in Colorado. Safeway workers across Colorado have been negotiating with their employers for nine months. At this point, every previous contract has expired.
