Workers at dozens of Colorado Safeway and Albertsons stores ended their strike Saturday after the union representing them announced a breakthrough in contract negotiations.

Safeway strike is over as "a fully recommended tentative agreement” was reached between the union and Safeway, said the union as picketing was expected to end on Saturday.

The union representing thousands of grocery store workers in Colorado and Wyoming says it's reached a tentative deal with Safeway to end a strike impacting unionized workers at around 50 stores across Colorado.
