Union workers at Safeway voted to authorize a strike, with workers possibly walking off the job as early as Monday, which could affect two of Colorado's largest grocery chains.
Contracts were expiring Saturday night for about 17,000 King Soopers, Safeway ( SWY - news - people ) and Albertsons workers represented by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 in Colorado. The union said all three chains have offered similar proposals, but the sides still disagree over wages and pension benefits.
