Grocery workers at King Soopers stores from Boulder to Parker voted overwhelmingly to strike over unfair labor practices, the union representing them said Thursday night.

Local 7 represents 12,000 King Soopers and City Market workers in Colorado.

In a news release, UFCW Local 7 President Kim Cordova complained of severe staffing shortages at area stores with no proposal to solve the problem. She also called out corporate negotiators for "robbing retiree health care benefits to fund wage increases for workers today."

Thank goodness.

The guy that stands at the self checkout and sighs loudly anytime someone needs his help definitely deserves a raise.

Maybe now he can afford some decent clothes and a haircut. Although that new GMC in the parking lot is pretty nice...
