UFCW Local 7 Reaches Tentative Three-Year Deal with King Soopers Amid Safeway Strike During Fourth of July Weekend

The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7, representing thousands of employees at King Soopers and City Market in Colorado, announced on July 3 and 4, 2025, that it has reached a tentative three-year contract agreement with the companies after several days of negotiations. This development comes amid an ongoing strike by UFCW Local 7 outside Safeway stores in Grand Junction. The Safeway strike has led some shoppers to turn to King Soopers and other grocery stores for their Fourth of July weekend shopping needs. Additionally, the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) reached a tentative agreement on a National Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting on July 3, 2025.
