King Soopers and City Market workers in Colorado will hold strike vote meetings from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, the union announced on Wednesday.

Union leaders scheduled strike-authorization votes for Jan. 29 and 30 against King Soopers stores in metro Denver.

King Soopers workers in the Denver area will vote on whether to authorize a strike after contract negotiations failed. Votes are scheduled Jan. 29-Feb 1 in the metro area, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Broomfield and Pueblo. The union said specific times and locations for the vote are being given to grocery store workers directly.

A statement by King Soopers accused union negotiators of “stall tactics and creating uncertainty.” The company said its final offer included significant investments of up to a 6% increase in the first year of the contract and “promises to support, protect and invest” in employees’ interests.

The current contract between King Soopers and the United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 7 (UFCW) expired at midnight on

The union has until Jan. 31 to make the decision to vote to strike or not. Former president George W. Bush took the internet by storm during the 2025 Inauguration of President Donald Trump, where the 43rd president seemed to have a playful moment during the proceedings.

Denver-area grocery workers are going to vote next week on whether or not to strike against King Soopers again, the local union representing the workers announced.
