In Colorado, approximately 10,000 grocery store workers employed by King Soopers, a subsidiary of Kroger, are prepared to initiate a two-week strike starting Thursday. This action follows a series of votes by employees across the state, including those in the Denver metro area, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, who have expressed concerns over pay and working conditions. King Soopers has responded by adjusting store hours during the strike period. Union representatives have raised allegations of unfair labor practices, leading to heightened tensions between the workers and management. As the strike looms, community reactions to potential price changes and store operations during this period are gaining attention.
