NEW: A strike against the Kroger grocery chain has ended after more than 8,000 workers across Colorado spent 10 days striking. Workers were looking for a pay increase, better health benefits and stricter safety measures after working through the pandemic.
Workers can return to work Friday, the union said in a release. Early details of the agreement are not yet available.
More than 8,000 workers across Colorado spent 10 days striking against the largest grocery store chain in the state, looking for a pay increase, better health benefits and stricter safety measures after working through the pandemic. As negotiations stalled day after day, a court granted King Soopers a temporary restraining order against its striking workers, limiting each picket line to 10 workers per site.
"We do feel shortchanged and we feel taken advantage of," said Liz Wesley, who has been a floral manager for 17 years. In that time, she says, she’s received a total raise of $4.50. But that doesn't mean they pay more than other local job opportunities, workers said, adding they end up working longer with unexpected schedule changes due to the high turnover rate as coworkers quit to work for McDonalds or Costco.
