Picket lines are continuing to form at four Safeway grocery stores across the state, including two here in southern Colorado. Yesterday, workers were seen picketing in front of a distribution center in Denver.

Safeway employees at a Denver store walked out Monday, expanding a strike that started this weekend. The strike started small with workers at three stores in Estes Park, Fountain and Pueblo, and a Denver distribution center.

Currently, unfair labor practice strikes are limited to Safeway/Albertsons locations in just four cities: stores in Estes Park, Fountain and Pueblo, and a distribution center in Denver.

Employees at a Denver Safeway location walked off the job on Monday, joining their fellow workers on strike. ‘I was crying, I was a mess,’ Moises Sotelo-Casas’s daughter says. ‘He was in chains at his feet’

The union representing Safeway store employees in Colorado has given the required 72-hour notice that the strike is set to begin one minute before midnight on Sunday.
