King Soopers has filed a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order against striking workers, claiming their actions are unsafe. The union representing the workers, UFCW Local 7, accused the company of using legal tactics to distract from labor issues, including understaffing and poor working conditions. The lawsuit follows a separate federal case filed by King Soopers, alleging the union engaged in coercive and unlawful actions, which the union dismissed as "baseless." Despite the legal battles, the union remains committed to the strike and continues to call for fair labor practices.
