Union Workers File Lawsuit Against King Soopers and Safeway for Alleged Actions During 2022 Strike
A group of local union workers has filed a class action lawsuit against Kroger Company and Albertsons, who own King Soopers and Safeway, respectively. The lawsuit alleges that these grocery chains have engaged in unfair labor practices by underpaying and overworking their employees.
The union workers claim that Kroger and Albertsons have not been providing fair wages or adequate breaks for their employees. They also argue that the companies have failed to provide a safe working environment, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the lawsuit, Kroger has stated that they are committed to providing a safe and inclusive work environment for all employees. They have also emphasized that they adhere to all labor laws and regulations.
Albertsons, on the other hand, has stated that they are reviewing the claims made in the lawsuit and take them seriously. They have expressed their commitment to treating all employees fairly and with respect.
It is important to note that these are just allegations at this point, and the lawsuit will need to go through the legal process to determine the validity of the claims. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
