Employees at a Denver Safeway location walked off the job on Monday, joining their fellow workers on strike. ‘I was crying, I was a mess,’ Moises Sotelo-Casas’s daughter says. ‘He was in chains at his feet’

On Sunday, four stores went on strike including stores in Estes Park, Pueblo and Fountain, as well as a distribution center in Denver.

The union that represents 7,000 Safeway/Albertsons employees in Colorado terminated its contract extension with the company on Wednesday.
