According to statements from both the union and King Soopers, the agreement includes a 100-day period of “labor peace,” giving both sides time to resume contract negotiations. The truce also ensures that workers will not lose their health care coverage between now and a final contract deal.

After months-long negotiations between King Soopers and its union employees, more than 8,500 King Soopers employees went on strike across the Denver metro and Front Range.
