"This strike was about thousands of everyday grocery store workers, collectively standing together and facing one of the largest corporations in America and saying 'enough,'" UFCW Local 7 president Kim Cordova says in an announcement about the end of the strike.
On February 7, UFCW Local 7 announced it had learned that King Soopers filed a lawsuit claiming the union had acted illegally by making King Soopers bargain with workers from unions in California and Washington in the Colorado contract process.
