Safeway hiring scabs amid strike

Safeway is hiring temporary workers amid a labor strike impacting more than two dozen Colorado stores and a distribution center, including three locations in Boulder (3325 28th St.) and Longmont (1050 Ken Pratt Blvd. and 1632 Hover St.)

The strike began June 15. Talks between the company and the union, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 (UFCW), stalled over the weekend, according to statements from both parties.

Online job postings for temporary positions at the Boulder and Longmont locations list the pay as $22 per hour.

This is the second grocery store strike to impact Boulder County this year. In February, workers at Boulder and Louisville King Soopers conducted an 11-day work stoppage. UFCW resumed negotiations with King Soopers/City Market this week.
