COLORADO SPRINGS — A return to work settlement has been secured for all striking King Soopers workers across Colorado, meaning the ongoing strike will end on Monday night at midnight. A long-term deal, however, has still been reached.

DENVER (AP) — More than 10,000 King Soopers grocery workers across the Denver area ended their 12-day strike late Monday after union leaders said they secured some basic protections for returning workers and agreed to resume bargaining with the Kroger-owned chain.
