The Safeway/Alberstons workers' strike is quickly gaining momentum, as employees join together to fight against understaffing, insufficient wage increases, and inadequate health benefits.

Safeway and Albertsons workers in several Colorado locations went on strike, and many more stores are expected to strike soon.

United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 announced Saturday that, unlike the February strike by King Soopers workers, the Safeway/Albertsons walkout will begin on a more limited scale.
