Employees will strike at several Safeway locations on Sunday, according to UFCW Local 7.
The grocery store strikes will be limited to just four cities:
- Estes Park, Colorado
- Fountain, Colorado
- Pueblo, Pueblo
- Denver, Colorado (distribution center)
The union said limited strikes will allow time for the public and Safeway to understand the problems the workers are facing and reduce the hardship on shoppers and workers alike.
Workers from several cities voted to strike on June 5, hoping to end “the chronic understaffing crisis,” according to the union.
An agreement was not reached during negotiations on Wednesday, and the union reportedly issued a 72-hour notice that night to begin a countdown to the termination of the contract extension agreement.
