Near the end of this week, workers at Colorado grocery store chain King Soopers may vote to authorize a strike. Workers will decide between accepting the current contract proposal, or authorizing a strike. According to management, the new contract includes wage increases and no increase in health care costs. However, according to the union, the contract would cause workers’ wages to remain stagnant over the next three years, reduce hours, and increase health care costs. In anticipation of a strike, the grocery chain has begun hiring temporary employees.
