In labor news, some 8,400 unionized King Soopers grocery workers have ended a 10-day strike after members approved a new contract. The three-year agreement with the Kroger-owned grocery chain brings workers better healthcare and pension benefits, tougher workplace safety measures and wage increases of up to $5 per hour. Three-quarters of Kroger employees recently surveyed by the United Food and Commercial Workers union reported they face food insecurity.
