Negotiations between Colorado grocery workers, Safeway fail to reach resolution
Negotiations between Colorado union grocery store workers and Safeway failed to reach a resolution this week after talks broke down over pay and benefits. According to the UFCW Local 7, union president Kim Cordova and a member-led bargaining committee met with representatives of Safeway and Albertsons on Friday and Saturday, but failed to reach an agreement. "Although we made significant conceptual progress on certain items, the company refused to sign a separate tentative agreement on items, including health care," the union said in a Facebook post. "Instead, Safeway/Albertsons is insisting on wages far below competitors in the market here in Colorado and below agreements that have been reached with other local unions in the current bargaining cycle." Workers at Fort Morgan Safeway joined the growing list of employees across the state on strike this week, demanding better pay, benefits and working conditions. Elk rests with picketers at Estes Park Safeway CBS In a humourous turn of events Friday, an elk joined picketers while looking for a place to rest in the shade.

Egg-Sized hail possible across Eastern Colorado Sunday
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and evening across portions of eastern Colorado. All modes of severe weather will be possible, including: Large hail up to 2 inches in diameter Isolated tornadoes Wind gusts up to 70 mph CBS Storms are expected to begin forming between 12 and 2 p.m. across the foothills and the Denver metro area. This initial development will tap into limited instability, which could still support a few strong storms with marginally severe hail. That includes areas like Denver and Boulder — now is a good time to prepare for hail. CBS As storms push east toward Denver International Airport and the I-76 corridor, they will encounter a more unstable atmosphere. This added storm fuel could lead to rapid intensification as storms move toward Fort Morgan and areas to the north and east. CBS The primary concern today is large hail, potentially up to the size of an egg. The main window for severe development will be between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Sunday.
