Ten Thousand Grocery Workers Strike Kroger
Posted On: Feb 11, 2025
Feb. 11, 2025 | STRIKES | Ten thousand members of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 are on strike all across Colorado. They work for King Soopers grocery stores, owned by Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the U.S. When their contracts expired January 16, they voted by 96 percent to authorize a two-week-long unfair labor practice strike, including high-traffic Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day weekends. Even with scabs staffing the stores, these holiday weekends should give the boss a headache. Much more is at stake than the contracts in Colorado. This is the critical first skirmish of this year’s large-scale grocery bargaining rounds—contracts will expire covering more than 130,000 members at Kroger and Albertsons across a dozen UFCW locals. In all, UFCW represents more than 700,000 workers at these two companies. Labor Notes
