King Soopers workers in Denver, Parker, Broomfield and Boulder moved to authorize an unfair labor practice strike during votes on Wednesday and Thursday.

Unionized King Soopers workers in Broomfield and Boulder counties joined their peers in the Denver metro area to vote in favor of a strike authorization this week as the Kroger Co.-owned (NYSE: KR) grocery-store chain and the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 have failed to agree on terms for a new labor contract.

Pueblo and Colorado Springs workers vote next. UFCW Local 7 represents 12,000 King Soopers and City Market workers in Colorado.

Union workers of King Soopers grocery stores in Colorado Springs have voted to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike.

Both the president of King Soopers and the union that represents the supermarket chain’s employees believe a strike is likely after union negotiators rejected the company’s contract offer. That’s where the agreement ends.
