With a strike set to start, King Soopers has released adjusted hours for some grocery stores in Colorado. Union workers plan to begin a two-week strike on Thursday morning across the Denver metro area. They're appealing for higher wages and calling for a change in working conditions.

Workers at several King Soopers locations in Colorado launched a strike against the Kroger-owned chain on Thursday, citing unfair labor practices. As previously reported, members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 voted last month to stage a two-week strike as they continue to negotiate under an expired contract.

Members of UFCW Local 7 for Pueblo King Soopers are expected to start striking on Friday. There are two stores in Pueblo.
