King Soopers Reaches Tentative Agreement With Union To End Strike
Both King Soopers and UFCW Local 7, the union representing King Soopers workers, confirmed Friday morning both parties reached a tentative 3-year agreement to settle the recent dispute. In the press release issued by the union, it said the strike will end immediately, and workers can return to work as soon as during the day.
“After months of negotiations and after our members walked out on strike, we have reached a tentative agreement with King Soopers/City Market that addresses the Company’s unfair labor practices and ensures that our members will receive the respect, pay, and protection they warrant,” said Kim Cordova, the president of UFCW Local 7, in the union’s press release. “This fight will always be about the workers. I could not be prouder of our members who put it all on the line to have their voices heard.”
“We are pleased that this agreement allows us to put more money in our associates’ paychecks and secures healthcare and pension plans.” said Joe Kelley, the president of King Soopers and City Market, in the King Soopers press release. “We look forward to welcoming back our associates and customers.”
The workers’ union is expected to share the details of the tentative agreement with its members to make a final vote.

My niece came home early, she said word just kind of came around and she was not sure how anyone heard but they all ended up leaving. She heard no details of the agreement, so we'll see in the next few days. She did say people were in real good spirits as they left but she really wants to know the details before she celebrates.
My personal thanks to all who joined in replacing their regular shopping to support the strike... Much appreciated

As someone who walked a picket line in front of a grocery store I hope they got a good deal!
Well Done!
