Union Reaches Agreement With Safeway, Albertson's Stores

DENVER (CBS4)- The union for employees of Safeway and Albertson's stores in Colorado has reached a tentative agreement with the company. This comes just a month after King Soopers employees went on strike. They were fighting for better pay and benefits.

Safeway employees' contracts were also up and there was concern the same thing would happen. With the tentative agreement, it seems the two sides have come to a resolution, at least for the next three years.

The resolution ensures workers are fairly paid and respected as well as paid sick leave and affordable health care. The agreement impacts 5,400 employees.
