Safeway employees at a Denver store walked out Monday, expanding a strike that started this weekend. The strike started small with workers at three stores in Estes Park, Fountain and Pueblo, and a Denver distribution center.

On Monday, workers at more Safeway stores went on strike, demanding better pay, benefits, and staffing levels. Union leaders told Denver7 the strike will continue to expand until a contract is reached.

Several days after unionized Safeway store employees voted to authorize a strike, the wait continues on what will happen next.

Pueblo and Pueblo West Safeway workers have joined a United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 strike seeking better pay, staffing and benefits.
