Denver, June 21 (RHC)-- In U.S. labor news, a Safeway Grocery store strike is spreading across Colorado with a thousand workers now on strike at 10 stores and distribution centers in four major cities across the state. 

Workers are denouncing cuts to healthcare and retirement benefits, and demanding improved staffing in stores. 

Parent company Albertsons cleared almost a billion dollars in profits last year while CEO Vivek Sankaran made over fifteen million in salary and stocks last year.

Meanwhile, some 45,000 Southern California grocery workers voted last week to authorize a strike at Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions stores.
