Safeway, striking workers announce tentative contract agreement

Safeway workers are ending their strike Saturday, after more than three weeks of picketing at 46 stores across Colorado.

UFCW 7 posted on Facebook that they reached a “fully recommended tentative agreement” with the company. As part of that agreement, strikes will be lifted starting Saturday.

The “all gains, no concessions agreement” includes fully funded health care benefits, fully funded pension benefits, no cuts to retiree health care, wage increases, new studies for staffing improvements, and expanded vacation cash, the union said.
